Brisbane to Longreach drive: Outback Queensland

After covering the distance from Brisbane to Roma, the outback leg of the Brisbane to Longreach drive is from Roma to Longreach.

Shortly after leaving Roma, you join the Landsborough Highway at Morven. This passes through Augathella and Tambo, birthplace of Tambo Teddies. Blackall makes for a good stop – the Blackall Aquatic Centre is fed by an artesian bore and the Blackall Wool Scour tells the tale of the local wool industry.
