    Locals not exactly friendly, tourist seem to be viewed as outsiders (must admit only interacted with 3 or 4 shops in the area, but we appeared to be a hindrance they wanted out of their shop). Our motel staff were excellent, friendly and helpful cannot speak highly enough.

    There is a lot of history in Barcaldine regarding the formation of the then Labour Party, the first political party in Australia. It is well told, from the free detailed information boards surrounding the famous Tree of Knowledge to the workers Heritage Centre. Easy to access everything, no parking problems, lots of pubs, some open, some not, (if you are interested).

    Great place to stay after 11 hrs on the road!

    Great place to stay after 11 hrs on the road! Very welcoming, pleasantly surprised by size of room! Ordered room service… my main came.. I thought they had forgotten dessert…. But I was told it would come a little later so my Icecream wouldn’t melt! Loved the thoughtfulness! Room and furnishings on the older side but beautifully clean, bright and spacious! Well done guys!

    Barcaldine has lots of great eats for a small country town. My son & I had a little walk through town which we enjoyed and went to the park. A nice little stop. Would come back for another visit as I stayed here for the better in blackhall festival.

    Plan to eat at the restaurant at the Motor Inn.

    Plan to eat at the restaurant at the Motor Inn. Plan for a picnic along the river. Plan to stay in Barcaldine and not in Longreach. Longreach is way over-priced and you could leave for Longreach - do your 2 tours and come back to Barcaldine. Seriously good place to visit.

    A small town with lots of things in the surrounding area.

    A small town with lots of things in the surrounding area. I was driving through from Darwin so I didn’t have time to stop and look around but it’s on the route for the gem fields and the dinosaur trail.
