About Quilpie
The town of Quilpie, in Outback Queensland, offers the visitor experiences that can be laid pack or active with activities ranging from fishing and picnicking at the Bulloo River to beautiful parks and nature reserves for the botanically minded. When in season, the wildflowers are abundant across the countryside.
For a great vantage of the surrounding area, a climb to Baldy Top lookout is highly recommended. And for those looking for something precious, you can spend the day fossicking for opals.
For an insight to the area, be sure to check out the Visitor Information Centre, Shire Gallery and Shire Museums.
Listen for names such as Tully, Durack and Costello, who were among the first settlers. Hear about the struggles during flood and drought and the hardship of isolation from the people who have experienced it on the interactive compact disc at the Quilpie Shire Museum.
