It doesn’t matter what you spend your time in the Quilpie Shire doing, whether it be exploring Hell Hole Gorge National Park or learning about Australia’s largest Dinosaur; every moment spent in the Quilpie Shire is a magic moment.
Now we know we sound a little biased making a bold statement like the one up there, so we’ve compiled 10 top magic moments to be had just to prove it.
- Right spot at the right time
Sometimes you are just lucky enough to find yourself in the right spot at the right time to capture that perfect magic moment. Like this one which was taken from the bottom of Baldy Top Lookout as the afternoon sun illuminated the red rocky escarpment that is Baldy Top.
- Spot some wildlife
Now Brolga’s may be a fairly common bird out this way, after all Quilpie’s main street is called ‘Brolga Street’, however they never quite come out for a photo when you really want them to. This magic moment of 6 Brolga’s enjoying a stroll along Quilpie’s Bulloo River was captured by our Information Centre team member Megan.
- Sunset with Friends
Now we know we bang on about how great an Outback Sunset is – and it definitely is – but the best way to enjoy it would have to be with friends and family. These 2 characters were spotted enjoying a winter sunset and obviously couldn’t help but chat about it.
- Have the freshest feed
Not only can you catch the freshest feed of Yellow Belly or Yabbies it’s also a great activity for the whole family to enjoy and has many opportunities for classic Outback Magic moments.
- A taste of high society in Adavale
Your taste buds especially will enjoy this magic moment as they delve into delicious homemade delicacies from Adavale’s very own house of high teas, the Elegant Emu. You won’t believe you are in Outback Queensland in this magic moment.
- Hold something 100,000 years old
How incredible to tell your friends that you have held something 100,000 years old in your hands….what a magic moment. To have these bragging rights make sure you book a family prep program at the Eromanga Natural History Museum today. Visit: www.enhm.com.au
- Catch up on the real world on the bush telly
There’s nothing quite like the magic moment of turning of the everyday telly and catching up on the bush telly with a camp oven dinner and the stars overhead. It has all the ingredients of a magic moment.
- Explore nature
One of the Quilpie Shire’s and even outback Queensland’s best natural wonder would without a doubt have to be Hell Hole Gorge National Park. Yes here we go again with the biased, but just take a look at this photo. The opportunities for magic moments are a plenty at this park.
- Let kids be kids
Isn’t it great when kids can be kids and just do the simple things like throwing rocks in the river, playing in the dirt or climbing a tree? There are plenty of magic moments for kids to be kids in the Quilpie Shire whether it be exploring the caves at Baldy Top Lookout, swimming at Hell Hole Gorge or even canoeing on the Lake.
- Meet the friendly locals
If there is one aspect of the Outback that tends to stick in your mind it would have to be the friendliness and hospitality of the people and characters that call it home.
