About Longreach
Longreach is an outback town on the Thomson River in central-west Queensland, known for its stockmen's heritage and the early days of Australian aviation.
Longreach lies on the broad Mitchell-grass plains of central-west Queensland, beside the Thomson River, on the Landsborough Highway. Sheep and cattle country stretches in every direction under a huge sky. Eagle Street, the wide main street, is lined with old pubs and verandahed buildings from the days when the town was a coaching stop and a railway terminus.
