What to expect in Longreach

Longreach is 1180 kilometres from Brisbane, on the Tropic of Capricorn, not far from the edge of the desert in western Queensland. With a sparse population and big landscapes, it’s a different world! The town has all necessities but not too much in the way of cutting-edge fashion! We have cafés and lattés but you’re more likely to hear people discussing cattle prices than coffee blends! Nightlife? We make our own, getting together with friends and workmates around a BBQ by the river or in one of the local restaurants.
