Where the Future of the Outback Flows: Roma (Part 1: Longreach Trip)

Описание: Roma is a historic town in the Maranoa Region of Outback Queensland, Australia.
​It is known for being a major centre for the pastoral (cattle and sheep), agricultural, and gas/oil industries.
​Here are some of the key highlights and attractions in Roma:
• ​🐄 Roma Saleyards: Australia's largest cattle-selling facility. Sales are held on Tuesdays and Thursdays and are a popular attraction for visitors, with raised walkways for viewing.
• ​⛽ The Big Rig: A family-friendly attraction with interactive exhibits and an observation tower that tells the story of Australia's gas and oil pioneering history. They also run a night show.
• ​🌳 Roma's Biggest Bottle Tree: A famous, massive, and very old Brachychiton rupestris (bottle tree) that is one of the most photographed landmarks in town.
• ​🗺️ Gateway to the Outback: Roma is often referred to as the starting point for a self-drive adventure further into South West and Central West Queensland.
• ​🎉 Festivals: Home to major events like the Easter in the Country Festival and the Roma Cup horse races.

We stayed at the Big Rig Tourist Park which is directly across from Bug Rig Tourst Park and a great park to take a walk through. Although staff are polite and helpful. Amenities here are good. However, the park is not really suitabke for bigger outfits - we had a 16 foot caravan.
