On the drive from Windorah to Betoota, you will see Tulley grave, an old Stocky's grave located under a big Coolibah Tree, and JC Hotel Ruins, the remains of the small town of Canterbury, which was established in 1884. Drive over a "Jump Up" - where one catchment area rises to the next, and then pass by oil and gas fields. Enjoy a picnic lunch with fabulous views at the elevated Deon's Lookout before passing through the ghost town of Betoota. The town of Betoota was originally set up as a customs post to collect tolls for stock as they travelled to South Australia. It was also a Cobb & Co change station. The last standing hotel was closed in 1997 and the town now stands lonely on a vast gibber plain. While Betoota is mainly a ghost town, it comes alive twice a year with two annual events - the Horse and Motorbike Gymkhana (first weekend of Queensland's Easter School holidays) and the Betoota Races, which kick off the Simpson Desert Racing Carnival in the last weekend in August. There is a popular camping area at Browns Creek near the Betoota Hotel.
