Longreach to Blackall

Brisbane City, Queensland

Back on the road this morning, keep your eyes peeled for the different types of trucks you see. How many road trains and B-Doubles can you count? Set out eastward on the Matilda Way to Barcaldine and pay a visit to the site of The Tree of Knowledge Memorial where once stood the ghost gum that was the central meeting place for the Shearers’ Strike in 1891. Call in to the Information Centre and pick up a booklet and map to walk or drive the award-winning ‘Between the Bouganvilleas Heritage Trail. Spend time at the Australian Workers Heritage Centre and stop by one of the local pubs to enjoy a country tradition of a counter meal lunch before making the short drive to Blackall this afternoon.
