20 Best Small Towns in Australia

"Famous for its classic Outback pub, The Birdsville Hotel, and its annual horse races held on the first weekend of September, blink-and-you'll-miss-it Birdsville is a quintessential stop on a Queensland road trip. Also host to the world's most remote country music festival, Big Red Bash, Birdsville lies in close proximity to the Simpson Desert (Munga-Thirri National Park), with scenic flights over its golden sand dunes, as well as Lake Eyre in nearby South Australia, bookable through the hotel." - Travel + Leisure Editors

Fantastic experience. The meals were great. The motel rooms were very clean and the mattress 👌 Fantastic. Highlight of the trip was flying over Lake Eyre with Talia. Such a beautiful lady and so accomadating. Thank you for the travel calm Ta. Much appreciated 💕 Danielle 💖

The pub is a great facility in an isolated part of Australia. My four star rating is based on the price of the beer. Way too expensive even for allowing for freight. Come and stay, but bring your own beer!

Start of off season. Hours changed..note on door. Should keep google updated. Pub itself full of memorabilia etc. Can see would be lively pub atmosphere in season with staff more engaged. Only thing that saved our experience here was talking to couple of other travellers. Dinner was okay. So far our least fave pub on our trip.

From the Welcoming reception to the accommodation., the catering and refreshments. It's the people that made our stay marvellous. Our flight over Lake Eyre - we had a fabulous time on the morning flight. Our Pilot was so full of information and knowledge. Not only of the land, but the Stations and challenges of the Outback. We learned so much. We were impressed with all the staff. They were more than staff, they were a well oiled team that really cared about each other, about the comfort of their guests. The staff were a standout, making sure not only was there always an available and friendly accommodating face, but also they had answers or sought information to assist you. The Bar staff, the catering and wait staff, housekeeping staff and tour guides. All were enthusiastic and ensured all guests were welcomed and catered for. The catering was excellent. Considering the difficulties of ensuring fresh food available and presented, I was amazed at the variety and quality, it was a good tasty selection. WE were there for six days and five nights and I would say it was the best holiday ever.

We travelled Rex Airlines from Brisbane for five nights in Birdsville. This was a Bucket List item specifically to see the Channel Country and we were not disappointed in any aspect of our outback stay. |We did the two hour flight to Lake Machattie to the north, and the next day the half day Lake Eyre and William Creek flight in perfect weather, we would highly recommend not to miss either of these flight experiences. The flights are conducted professionally in high wing Cessna aircraft, ideal for scenic viewing. From the air the Channel Country fascinates endlessly with its uniqueness, colour, beauty, interest and variable landscapes. |We also booked the Big Red Sunset Tour through the hotel. An informative town tour precedes "Sundowners" atop Big Red and again it was an experience we were pleased not to have missed.|The Birdsville Hotel provides modern Motel style accommodation with free Wi-Fi. Lunch and Dinner in the Hotel offers a menu choice with daily specials, all good quality fare. The Bakery and Karrawa Wirinya also offer optional breakfast, lunch or coffee. No matter where we were, across the board staff were friendly, obliging and efficient. |In summary, a most memorable and enjoyable holiday experience.

Wow! This place is amazingly well run. I arrived the morning after the Birdsville races and was expecting a mess but everything was clean, tidy and organized. The staff were efficient. The motel rooms clean and comfortable. The Big Red tour was very interesting with the town tour before going out to enjoy the dune and sunset. Had a huge storm there one night that resulted in no WiFi for 24hrs but was informed by staff that the information center had WiFi. Food good.

Great atmosphere. Staff were always friendly & willing to help go the extra mile. Good food at affordable prices. Great quality despite being only place in town & definitely committed to giving tourists a great experience in the far west

I want to praise the recovery service from Birdsville Hotel. My friend's car broke up literally right in the middle of the Simpson desert. Noah did not waste any time to pick it up and bring it to the Roadhouse in only 4 days. As we did not need to stay with the car, we continued our trip and we actually saw him past us 3 days later at 7:30 pm on his way back to Birdsville. That is a great customer service. Thank you heaps.
