Longreach: Historic Ilfracombe Outback Rail Adventure｜Australia

This is a great lazy Sunday experience as we leave Longreach Station and head east across the vast open plains to Ilfracombe. The view of this big sky landscape from the rail motor is so different to the road. Learn tales of the land as we enter the sediments of the inland sea from millions of years ago around Ilfracombe.

Explore this town of great stories and character before quenching your thirst with a welcome drink and lunch at the famous Wellshot Hotel. The oldest pub in the west has lots of quirky and interesting memorabilia not to mention a little history that can keep you entertained for years. Return to Longreach after feeling the community spirit of this great little town whilst being relaxed and charmed on the rail motors.
