The next stop on our road trip was just a two hour drive from Winton. The outback town of Longreach is a centre supporting the grazing and wool growing stations in western Queensland. It lies on the Thomson River, about 700 kilometres inland from Rockhampton.

Longreach is home to two tourist attractions, The Australian Stockman's Hall of Fame, and the Qantas Founders Museum. We had heard about both of these and wanted to see them for ourselves.
