Winton to Boulia

Winton, Queensland

Drive west to Boulia - capital of the Channel Country. The road winds its way through Jump Up, Channel Country and Mitchell Grass Downs. En route visit the historic Middleton Hotel, one of Queensland's most isolated pubs. Cawnpore Lookout offers spectacular panoramic views of the Lilleyvale Hills. Visit the original Min Min Hotel site where one of the first recorded sightings of the Min Min Light occurred. Fire destroyed the hotel and only a bottle heap and the old cemetery remains there. In Boulia, visit the Min Min Encounter for a unique theatrical experience based around the famed Min Min Light phenomenon. Call into the well-preserved Stonehouse Museum which is also home to a Marine Reptile Fossil exhibit - evidence that Boulia was part of an Inland Sea 100 million years ago. See the last recognised Corroboree tree of the Pitta Pitta tribe - a distinctive Waddi tree. Drive approximately 25 kilometres out of town to the Old Police Barracks (1875-1884). The campsite at this natural waterhole had great spiritual significance to the local people. The Boulia Rodeo, Races and Campdraft is a major event at Easter, and the famous Boulia Camel Races are held every third weekend in July.
