Welcome to The Edge of The Outback Back 
Meet the people of THE OUTBACK in their own vast backyard. Your Hosts - Anne and Roly Gooding and the staff. Central to Longreach and Queensland Rail's Spirit of the Outback long haul Train destination. Modern
airport facilities close to town and the Hotel. All coaches. Easy
access from Landsborough and Matilda Highways. Close
to all major Longreach attractions. Visit the Stockman's Hall of Fame
and the state of the art Qantas Outback Founders' museum or the Pioneer
Woolshed. Or enjoy a quiet sunset dinner cruise upon the Thomson River
on the Yellow Belly Express or a paddle wheeler. There's bird life
galore and awesome sunsets, bush poetry, singsongs and tall stories and
giant fibs. Fishing. Depending upon the
weather and rainfall, those with the desire will enjoy a little
yellowbelly fishing. Rooms - 19 motel suites -
some with double queens and microwave facilities. All with TV, phones
and air conditioning. Beds are very comfy. Wheelchair
access to some suites. Some have stairs. There are seven hotel rooms
and a cabin. The winter season gets busy so it's best to book or phone
ahead of your arrival. Ample parking. As
the sign says - You can't get a better/bigger feed 'Roly's Goodings'
motto is 'You don't want to look at it on a wall. You want to eat it'. All tours and attractions easily arranged. No noisy televisions. No juke boxes in the bars. Conversation (rememer that?) is possible and very likely. Boutique and quiet poker machine room. Everything is on a large scale in the West. Roly's bottle shop is no exception. Wine
selection. Don't be surprised if you unearth a nice wine at the bottle
shop - even if you have to climb over a couple of cartons to get to it.
Climate - beautiful in winter with very cold
nights and a huge sky. Razor sharp clean light. Summer is hot and dry
with spectacular summer storms. Be prepared. Mostly excellent condition
highways. |
