Day 8

Home to “The Jewel of the Outback”, the beautiful boulder opal, Quilpie displays it in the most unique of ways. See the opal in all its glory at St. Finbarr’s Church with the spectacular Opal Altar, Font & Lectern or try your luck at the free opal fossicking area 2km west of town.  Don’t miss the literal ‘End of the Line’, Bulloo River Walk, the old Powerhouse Museum and the Mini Museum at the airport.  Later today be inspired by the Australian outback scenery as we travel to Charleville, home to both the southern Queensland base of the Royal Flying Doctor Service and the School of Distance Education.
