2 DAY ACCESSIBLE QUILPIE SHIRE

Kick off your outback escape right in the heart of town at the Quilpie Visitor Information Centre on Brolga Street. There’s accessible parking just 50 metres from the door, and a smooth entry makes it easy to roll right in. Inside, you’ll find helpful locals and plenty to see — from the museum full of local stories to the art gallery showcasing true outback talent. There’s a shady spot to sit outside, plus an accessible unisex toilet nearby if needed. While you’re here, check out the Military History Museum next door – there’s a ramp in so it’s easy access. Stick around after dark for the fully accessible Quilpeta Night Show – a local favourite with comfy seating and a great yarn told through sound, light and a bit of outback magic.  If you’re needing overnight accommodation, The Quilpie Motor Inn offers ground floor accessible rooms with ensuites.

Today, hit the road west for a scenic one-hour drive to Eromanga – home to some of Australia’s biggest dinosaur discoveries. When you arrive at the Eromanga Natural History Museum, you’ll find accessible car parking right outside the entrance and a smooth ramp that leads straight in. Inside, it’s all wide pathways and easy access, so you can take your time exploring the displays at your own pace. There’s an accessible toilet in the Reception area if needed. Join the popular Australian Dinosaur Giants Tour – a one-hour guided experience where you’ll meet the massive Titanosaurs found right here in Queensland’s outback. Or, for something hands-on, have a go at the Family Fossil Prep Program. There’s a cosy onsite café when you’re ready for a bite, and the gallery and gift shop are fully accessible too – perfect for a souvenir or two. Tactile and braille signage is installed and there’s an audio loop system to enhance this fascinating dinosaur experience for hard-of-hearing visitors. When the day winds down, settle in just next door at Cooper’s Country Lodge, where a fully accessible, semi-self-contained room offers comfort, space, and true outback hospitality under a big country sky.
