Live on stage our talented outback performer will entertain you with their songs and stories. This night out will be a highlight of your Outback holiday.

All aboard our heritage Rail Motor as it travels over the Thomson River and its flood plains, highlighted by the stories that connect the romance of rail with a special slice of western Queensland life outside your window. This tour offers travellers and families a short immersive rail experience.

Go behind the scenes and travel back in time to those early years of Qantas with a Long reach local and fellow enthusiast. Be mesmerized when you tour the inside of the four iconic aircraft located under the 8000m2 airpark roof and feel like a rockstar when touring the Boeing 707 – a private jet! The storytelling takes guests back to the beginnings of where Qantas started in the amazing Outback Queensland. Come along and visit Long reach, the home of Qantas; right where it all began.

The colours of the outback come alive at sunset as you glide down the Thomson River aboard the M.V. Longreach Explorer. After a warm welcome by our experienced crew, take your seat on the top deck ready to capture 360-degree sweeping, river and floodplain views. Our Captain will enthral you with captivating stories about the river, its wildlife and Indigenous heritage. Enjoy complimentary nibbles on board, and purchase icy cold drinks from our licensed bar. Photo opportunities are endless, but our stop at Sunset Bend is a hands-down favourite. As we leisurely cruise back to our dock, you will see stunning vibrant sunset colours as they fade into starlight.

Our Country Classics menu takes inspiration from homestead kitchens and Country Women’s Association favourites. Enjoy a delicious main course and all-you-can-eat desserts for an inclusive price! Dine in the heritage surrounds of The Welcome Home on Wednesday and Saturday evenings.

Ending a day out means deciding between a sunset drink and sorting dinner, then getting between the two. This cruise combines them, gliding along the Thomson River with stories of local wildlife and Indigenous culture as you settle in on the top deck. As night falls, dock at Smithy's Outback Dinner and Show for a two-course camp-oven dinner and live entertainment.
