Along its 2691km path, trodden by pioneering men and women, grand masterpieces carefully sculptured by millions of years of nature’s caressing by weather and time, fascinate and enthrall all that see them.
Follow the Great Dividing Range where craggy mountain ranges and sandstone monoliths are interspersed with rolling pastures, open plains and welcoming towns. Underground, sparkling gemstones, the purest of gold, and the Great Artesian basin – the world’s largest and deepest aquifer – coupled with ancient art galleries and dreamtime legends present today’s traveller with a never-ending feast of attractions.
Camping or accommodated, all are equally catered for. There are luxurious lodgings, secluded hideaways, first-class B&B’s, and the chance to get off the beaten track and escape all the hurly-burly associated with the modern day world. With literally something for everyone, you’ll soon appreciate why the Great Inland Way is considered the ‘Australian drive of all drives’.
Sydney to Queensland’s Border
Leaving Australia’s premier harbour city Sydney, the Great Inland Way winds through Bathurst and past some of the state’s award-winning wineries in the surrounding Mudgee and Orange regions. Take the time to visit some of these wineries on your way to Dubbo, where at the Western Plains Zoo, more than 1500 animals roam. Hugging the unique Castlereagh River, an upside-down river where if you see water, the
river is flooding, the Great Inland Way passes through Gilgandra, Gulargambone, Coonamble and Walgett to Lighting Ridge, home of Australia’s national gem stone, the opal. Here, beneath the ochre tinted clay, the rarest opal of them all, the black opal is unearthed.
Then it’s off to Hebel, just within Queensland’s border. Don’t miss a visit to the pub where the Kelly Gang once stood quaffing beers. Murals depict humorous outback scenes; even a sheep welcomes you to the public ‘bah’! This tiny little township, set on the banks of the Bokhara River, offers a touch of class with the Crafty Yum Yum as German pastry chef Hilmer bakes mouthwatering culinary delights. If you have a 4WD consider a detour to Culgoa Floodplain National Park. Heading north 65kms, Dirranbandi is home to the world’s largest privately owned irrigated cotton farm, Cubbie Station.
St George – Roma
St George, the fishing capital of inland Queensland is next. Here on the banks of the Balonne River fishing tales of huge Murray Cod and Yellowbelly come true.
However, there’s more than just big fish in this picturesque rural town. Don’t miss meeting Steve Margaritis at the Unique Egg. Steve creatively carves emu eggs and his illuminated collection of over 100 eggs is extraordinary. While in town visit Riversands Winery, Queensland’s most western winery, St George Heritage Centre and do a tour of the cotton gin. Plan some time to visit Rosehill Aviaries, 60km west and Nindigully Hotel, 44km south. John Beardmore at Rosehill is a true bush character and his collection of Australian parrots is considered the most complete in the world. The authentically preserved Nindigully Hotel is reputed to be the longest running hotel in Queensland.
The Great Inland Way then follows the Balonne River 108km to Surat, another gem for those who enjoy fishing. First stop should be The Cobb & Co. Changing Station with its 25,000-litre freshwater aquarium,
replica 14-seater Cobb & Co. Coach and art gallery. Then visit the Aboriginal Bush Garden, Villacoola Winery, the Cobb & Co. Corduroys and pretty Beranga Creek 3.5km north where in late summer purple water lilies erupt in an impressive floral display. A little over 60km east is Myall Park Botanic Garden, the oldest collection of Australian semi-arid plants in Queensland and the birthplace of the Grevillea Robyn Gordon.
Roma
From Surat, Roma is less than an hour’s drive away. Over 100 years ago, the accidental discovery of Australia’s first oil and gas reserves catapulted Roma onto the world stage. Learn all about it at the Big Rig. While in town enjoy a local drop at Romavilla Winery, Queensland’s oldest winery, see a cattle sale at Roma Bungil Saleyards, Australia’s largest store cattle selling facility, take a walk along the 100 bottle trees that line Heroes Avenue and visit the many historical buildings like the Court House where famous cattle duffer Harry Redford was controversially acquitted.
Discover Injune and the Sandstone Belt
Discover Injune, 89km north, in the foothills of the Great Dividing Range – a town full of spirit! Start by visiting the cypress pine log cabin information centre for a complimentary cuppa and chat with the locals. Then prepare yourself for a couple of days of exploring surprising treasures from both the natural and man made world. There’s a new historical trail and don’t
Discover where Australia acquired the line in its national anthem, ‘nature’s gifts of beauty rich and rare’ when you take to the road on the Great Inland Way. This fully sealed route leads from one natural treasure to another as it weaves its way from Sydney, to the wide-open roads of the outback and up through Queensland’s Central Highlands to Cairns, Cooktown and the pristine tropical playground of the Great Barrier Reef.

forget to call in at the ‘Struth’ hotel where friendly cowboys wearing black hats are always in for a yarn.
Surrounding Injune are some of the most impressive national parks in the country. Lonesome is a treat with its candlestick sandstone monoliths, deserted 90 year old boundary riders hut and rare Black Striped Wallabies. From the lookout, the view stretches across the Arcadia Valley, one of the best beef-producing areas in Queensland. Lake Nuga Nuga, the largest natural water body in the Central Queensland sandstone belt, is bird watchers paradise. Said to have formed by a pair of Mundagarri (Rainbow Serpents) to keep their skin wet, the lake puts on a fantastic show bi-annually when purple water lilies carpet its surface. Both parks are accessible by 2WD.
Central Highlands
The spectacular Carnarvon Gorge should not be missed! Ancient Aboriginal art works, remnant rainforests and 21km of walking tracks meandering through the craggy sandstone cliffs lead to extraordinary sites such as the Moss Garden, Amphitheatre and Ward’s Canyon. The 298,000 hectare Carnarvon wilderness area is segmented into parks each with outstanding features courtesy of Mother Nature.
Winding northwards, the Great Inland Way passes through Rolleston to arrive in Springsure. A striking sight lit at night, Virgin Rock looks over the town from within the pretty Minerva Hills National Park. Take one of the self-drive tours and visit the historical Old Rainworth Fort, the Wills Massacre site and
Fred’s Gorge. Access to the Ka Ka Mundi and Salvator Rosa sections of Carnarvon National Park are from Springsure.
You won’t find a single emerald gem stone around Emerald, the vibrant heart of Queensland’s Central Highlands, 66km from Springsure. The new straw-bale visitor information centre is not hard to find – just look for the giant Van Gogh sunflower painting. Allow a few days for this area has much on offer. Around town, pay a visit to the Emerald Botanic Gardens, heritage listed Railway Station, the 250-year-old fossilised tree, and mosaic pathway.
Extremely popular for those into fishing are Lake Maraboon and Fairbairn Dam. Here the famous Redclaw – freshwater crayfish – are caught by the dozens. A mere 44km to the west of Emerald is one of the world’s largest sapphire fields. Admire sapphires in a myriad of sparkling colours in the local galleries and gem shops.
Crossing the Tropic of Capricorn, is the friendly town of Capella, 54km north of Emerald, encircled by a patchwork of multi-coloured crops forever changing across the black fertile plains. Drop in and see Australia’s largest wood-roofed station homestead – the Peak Downs Homestead at the Pioneer Village and take the relaxing self-drive tour through the Peak Range.
Next is Clermont where gold fossickers armed with a detector and licence, are often compensated with valuable finds. Picnic at Hoods Lagoon and don’t miss the free tour of Blair Athol Mine to witness mining at the world’s largest seam of steaming coal. Only a few kilometres south, Theresa Creek Dam is a beaut spot to camp and fish. At nearby Copperfield, see all that remains of Queensland’s first copper mine.
Ghosts of Gold – Charters Towers
Winding northwards, the Great Inland Way calls into Belyando Crossing before arriving in Charters Towers, once Queensland’s second largest city after the discovery of gold. Immaculately restored buildings and attractive parks grace the streets of this charming city. The best place to start at is the Visitor Information and Orientation Centre then allow the Ghosts of Gold to escort you around this exciting ‘living museum’ taking
in the Venus Battery, Stock Exchange, and Towers Hill with its cute allied rock-wallabies and historic World War Two bunkers. Take the short drive to visit Dalrymple National Park and the heritage-listed town of Ravenswood.
When you finally release yourself from Charters Towers’ enchanting grasp, continue to Undara Volcanic National Park. On an organized tour, walk around the rim of Kalkani crater and explore the world’s largest lava tube system.
The Tablelands – Cairns & Cooktown
Green undulating pastures, rainforests, cascading waterfalls, lookouts, lively markets, quaint art and craft galleries are just a few of the treasures to be uncovered as the Great Inland Way meanders through the Atherton Tablelands on its final leg to Cairns and Cooktown. With an unmatched beauty, Tropical North Queensland bestows picture perfect scenery every day. This is where world heritage-listed rainforests meet the world heritage-listed Great Barrier Reef – don’t forget the camera!
To the east, the tropical capital of Queensland, Cairns and seaside villages from the glamorous to the secluded await. A day on the reef is essential even for those who like to keep their toes dry opportunities exist so no one misses out viewing this magical marine playground.
Surrounded by paradise, Cooktown is a relaxed seaside town where one can escape the humdrum of more populated tourist destinations. The recently renovated James Cook Historical Museum and botanic gardens are both worth a visit. Find secluded beaches, serene lagoons, and exquisite views. What a finale!
