Outback hospitality, wide-open spaces and unforgettable Queensland experiences
There’s something undeniably special about rolling into a station stay in outback Queensland, where the beauty of the bush, wide open spaces and warm hospitality await. Whether you’re soaking in artesian baths, camping by a wetland, or sitting around a campfire under the Milky Way, these station stays provide an immersion in nature you can't readily find in a holiday park. From historic sheep stations to wildlife-rich wetlands and soaring red sandhills, these six station stays deserve a spot on your next road trip itinerary.
CHARLOTTE PLAINS
Located just a short drive from Cunnamulla, Charlotte Plains is a historic sheep station that has become a cult favourite with travellers due its steaming artesian waters and outdoor bathing experiences. Enjoy a spot of birdwatching or explore the walking trails criss-crossing the property, before slipping into an outdoor bath at sunset.
Catch yabbies in the waterholes, feed the animals, take a guided or self-drive property tour, go kayaking and unwind at the end of the day with a cold one at the Bore Baa (bar). The property offers both powered and unpowered sites, an amenities block with flushing toilets and showers, camp kitchen and shared laundry facilities.
