Burke River near Boulia
The road to Boulia

Mount Isa to Boulia

Longreach, Queensland

Leaving Mount Isa today, you’ll pass through scenic jump up country, flat Mitchell grass grazing land and spinifex plains towards the braided Channel Country, one of the most distinctive landscapes in Australia. The highway through to Boulia is single lane bitumen, suitable for normal two wheel drive vehicles, but remember to give way to larger vehicles. Make a stop in Dajarra, a remote, laid back town, once the largest cattle trucking depot in the world. The town also has a rich Aboriginal heritage and is home to Aboriginal tribes from around the Diamantina River, the Gulf and the Northern Territory. Drive around one and a half hours further to Boulia, heart of the Channel Country and among the finest beef producing country in Australia.
