Blackall Visitor Information Centre

Blackall Visitor Information Centre can be found on the Landsborough Highway as you head into town from Barcaldine.  It is housed within Ram Park in a old Railway Station. There are a number of historical building in the park - Homestead a typical home of early pioneers - Yalleroi School (a one teacher school) - Blackall and Yaleroi Railway Station etc. The wool industry has been very important to Blackall and there are plenty of tools from the early days on display.

Lots to see in this region and we stopped into the Visitor Information Centre to pick up the free visitor's guide. Some attractions in town are:

• the Blackall Woolscour,
• a statue of the legendary shearer Jack Howe,
• the Black Stump,
• Idalia National Park protecting Mulga Woodlands
• view some of the many birds that are attracted to the Barcoo River.

The Blackall Aquatic Centre (local pool) has a hot artesian spa as well as a 50 metre pool - shades are provides to protect form the hot sun. We enjoyed visiting the town of Blackall which has a relaxed, country feel.
