Charleville to Thargomindah

Longreach, Queensland

Departing Charleville, follow the Warrego River through the once prosperous railway settlement town of Wyandra to Cunnamullla, which came into being as a Cobb and Co. coach stop. Cunnamulla is also the southern starting point on the Matilda Highway. Follow the Cunnamulla Heritage Trail to learn the story behind many of the historical buildings and businesses. See the famous 'Robbers Tree' and learn the story of the unfortunate local station hand who robbed the local bank at gunpoint. Discover the quaint township of Eulo, where you can encounter tales of Isabel 'The Eulo Queen' and learn the story of the Eulo Mud Springs. Visit Lake Bindegolly National Park; where one of the most important wetland systems in South West Queensland is conserved. Huge numbers of migratory birds and waterbirds can be seen on and around the lakes. Travel to Thargomindah, named after the Aboriginal word meaning "Cloud of Dust", and discover the historic electrical street lighting story at the Thargomindah Artesian Hydro Power Plant, which is believed to be the oldest working unit in Australia, and possibly the world. The Old Thargomindah Hospital and the Historical Leahy House are other attractions worth visiting.
