Let’s Drive QUEENSLAND
Adelaide – Innamincka to Brisbane (total distance - 2410km)
ADVENTURE Way St George
Just over 1,000km from Adelaide lies Innamincka which is just a short distance to the Queensland border. On the way from Innamincka to Thargomindah, why not take a detour to the ‘Dig Tree’ on Nappa Merrie Station. It was near here that the Burke and Wills Expedition ended in tragedy.
2410km
At Thargomindah you can visit the huge hydro-electric power plant and Leahy House, once home to the cattle king, Sir Sydney Kidman. Then, along the way northwards you can take a turn-off to the Lake Bindegolly National Park, wetland home to many species of birds. Next, you’ll pass through the town of Eulo, where you can check out the opals or why not try a session at the Artesian Mud Baths? In Cunnamulla, an oasis on the Warrego River, you can visit the Cunnamulla Fella Centre and the Art Gallery and Museum Heritage Exhibition.
