RV TRAVEL
Spanning 1230km between the Queensland outback towns of Hebel and Charters Towers, this section of the Great Inland Way is far more than a long drive. The journey weaves past iconic historical country towns, cattle country, ancient gorges and sparkling gemfields. Together, it’ s a perfect route for those travelling in an RV.

HEBEL TO ST GEORGE( 165KM)
Hebel is the starting point for our Great Inland Way adventure, located just over the New South Wales / Queensland border 68km north of Lightning Ridge. This pint-sized town was reputedly once a hideout for the notorious Kelly bushranging gang and is steeped in Cobb & Co legend. We kicked off this road trip by dropping into the iconic 19th century Hebel Hotel for a taste of true outback hospitality. The pub is full of character and has been a welcoming stop for old-time drovers and more recent visitors for well over a century.
Dirranbandi is next. This rural town hugs the banks of the beautiful Balonne River. You won’ t want to miss the bakery here: it’ s famous far and wide for its sensational pies and scrumptious sweet treats.
