Charleville is a great little outback town situated on the banks of the Warrego River, just 750 kilometres from Brisbane. While in town, encounter outback heritage and hospitality by taking a tour of an outback station, visit the great collection of memorabilia at the Historic House Museum, or discover local history trails with a self-guided drive and walking maps. One of Australia’s most endearing native animals, the bilby, is captive bred in Charleville to ensure survival of the species, and April to October is the best time to see a bilby.
The Charleville Visitor Information Centre has a dump point and potable water available, and for those looking to stay and explore the area, CMCA RV Park (Bush Camp) provides parking for self-contained vehicles at just $3.00 per person per night for CMCA Members. Non members are also welcome to stay for $10 per site per night.
At night, discover the beauty of the outback sky at Charleville’s Cosmos Centre and Observatory, where clear nights and a low horizon combine to give you a great night time experience.
