Bailey Bar Caravan Park

There’s a lot of open space around the town of Charleville, and a lot of ways to explore it. Start by dropping in to the town’s visitor centre for details of walks and tours you can take to see native plants and animals including birds, wallabies and bilbies. Or, if you like, you can head out into the wilds on horseback or take a scenic flight for some epic outback views. It’s not all about the surrounds, though – it’s worth spending time in the town itself too, to visit the Royal Flying Doctor Service visitor centre and Charleville Historic House Museum, take a walk along the banks of the Warrego river and perhaps play a round at the local golf club. The lack of light pollution also makes this an excellent place to look up into the night sky. The Charleville Cosmos Centre is open by day for space-themed activities or you can sign up for an evening visit to see the sky through one of their powerful telescopes.
