The busy city was established in 1854 and has
a very interesting Outback Centre featuring displays on Aboriginal
and Outback history and other interesting things
to do. You can also join tours around the Northern Power
Station and the Royal Flying Doctor Service, both of which are
very interesting and informative.
Heading north out of town you will come across the beautiful Australian Arid Lands Botanic Gardens, with some marvellous walks around the 250 hectares of land. You also shouldn’t miss the Apex Camel Cup held in August/September. |
