Brisbane to Alice Springs road trip: Distance, drive time & stops

Overnight stops between Brisbane and Alice Springs: Roma, Queensland

The Brisbane to Alice Springs drive reaches the edge of the outback in Roma, Queensland.

Great things to do in Roma include delving into the Aussie oil and gas industry at the Big Rig and watching the hectic cattle auctions at the Roma Saleyards.

Roma accommodation possibilities include the Roma Explorers Inn and more budget-conscious Roma Aussie Tourist Park.

Shortly afterwards, in Morven, the Warrego Highway meets the Landsborough Highway.

A detour to Charleville?

For the quickest route, turn off here, but it only adds about an hour to the journey to take in Charleville. 

Things to do in Charleville include the Royal Flying Doctor Service Visitor Centre, the secret World War II base and the Charleville Cosmos Centre.
