Outback Queensland Halal Explorer

Queensland's main population centres are on the coast, and the arid western part is very sparsely populated. If you venture off the beaten track you will find wide open grazing lands and open cast mining.

Travel to Outback Queensland

It will take a while to drive into this region, and if you do a 4x4 is recommended due to the nature of much of the road network here.

Flying is also feasible with QantasLink flying smaller planes into the main mining towns from Brisbane.

Some of the towns are visited by trains, although it may be with a frequency of twice a week so plan ahead!

Travel Guide for more general advice.

The obvious danger of travel in this region is having a vehicle breakdown or getting lost. Prepare for such an eventuality and remember to stay with your vehicle rather than trying to go for help.

There are poisonous snakes, but these are likely to avoid you unless you surprise them. Be careful when walking through any vegetation and looking under rocks.
