Longreach Powerhouse Museum
Take a trip back in time at the Longreach Powerhouse Museum - the museum is the only intact example of a working powerhouse anywhere in Australia and is one of the most outstanding social history museums in the Outback.
The museum features the enormous gas and diesel powered engines and generators that powered the town of Longreach and later the rural areas around the town.
Also part of this museum is Nogo Cottage which incorporates a cottage from the early 1900.s with an authentic backyard and with furnishings exactly as there were when this was an outback home. Look back in time, see, touch and feel the early lifestyle of the outback.

Outback Pioneers Starlights Spectacular Experience in Longreach
This is where you listen to bush poetry, mingle around the fire, listen to stories from the Kinnon family, and eat if you get the Big 3 Pass which includes the Outback Pioneers Thomson River Sunset Dinner Cruise and also the Starlight’s Spectacular Sound and Light Show.
We had already done the Outback Pioneers Cobb & Co Stagecoach Experience in the morning so this was turning out to be one of the best days in our Outback Queensland Road Trip so far.
The whole process of being picked up by the bus at your accommodation, the cruise, the meal, the movie, and the trip home was awesome with too many highlights to name.
