Begin your drive to Blackall. Choose to travel the direct route via the Landsborough Highway and you will travel around 100km to Blackall. If you are keen for a bit of an off-road adventure, then consider taking a 4WD side trip along the Langlo-Adavale Track. So… you have arrived in Blackall, our second town along the Barcoo Way drive. Blackall is home to the legendary Jackie Howe. This national icon sheared 321 sheep in seven hours and 40 minutes, using blade shears at Alice Downs near Blackall. Not a bad effort. They say it would be equivalent to the Roger Federer 17 grand slams! While in Blackall, we recommend that you take a guided tour of the Blackall Woolscour, the only fully intact steam-powered wool washing plant left in Australia. Take a wander through the displays at Ram Park. It really does bring Blackall’s colourful history to life. What better way to end the day than soaking tired bones in mineral rich artesian water. Spend a couple of hours at the Blackall Aquatic Centre known for its therapeutic benefits…. stress relief, injury recovery, improved mobility……eternal youth. Well maybe eternal youth is a long-shot! Let’s just say it’s the perfect place to simply relax and soak up the Outback experience.
