Anyone for outback Aussie adventure? Best known for its pub and bakery of the same name, a visit to the remote Queensland town of Birdsville is a rite of passage for Australian campers and caravaners. Each year this far flung outpost hosts the Birdsville Races and the Big Red Bash music festival, and is also the most northerly point of the epic Birdsville Track (which stretches south to Maree in South Australia).

Are you planning your own visit to the region? In this episode of our online travel series we bring you tips for ten amazing things to do in Birdsville, Bedourie, and Betoota, which are all located in the Diamantina Shire. We visit what’s probably the most famous pub in the land, bathe in the thermally heated waters of the Great Artesian Basin, scale the heady heights of the Big Red sand dune at sunset, go birdwatching by the Birdsville Billabong, and drop by the uber remote Betoota Hotel. We also give you a sneak peek inside Birdsville’s newest attraction – the refurbished heritage Courthouse – which the shire hopes to open to the public in 2024!
