Charleville

HEART OF THE MULGA LANDS

Welcome to Charleville, the hub of the Murweh Shire on the banks of the wonderful Warrego River. Pause a while and immerse yourself in iconic Outback experiences from nature to the stars, fishing to history – there’s enough to entice you for a few days or more.

Charleville is home to the iconic bilby, see this flagship endangered species up close in their specially built nocturnal house.

There’s botanic reserves and beautifully landscaped parks to visit. An outback night sky with guides to fill your head with facts and visuals about planets, constellations and stars in the night sky (and by day) through enormous telescopes.

Stop by Charleville’s oldest tree – believed to be 400-800 years old this gracious old Carbeen (Corymbia tessellaris) is nationally registered. Visit the School of Distance Education and join the largest classroom in the world. View the mural on the Water Tower, lit up at night and the weather balloon as it’s released daily and don’t miss the Royal Flying Doctor Base and the Historical House. Maybe take a Scenic Flight to see the heart of the Mulga Lands from the air and anglers are not forgotten with waterways perfect for dangling a line.

Did you book enough nights? We look forward to seeing you soon!
