Queensland's regions

Central West Queensland has a laid back, outback county lifestyle. The region is about 13 hours by road from Queensland's capital city Brisbane, and about two-and-a-half hours by plane.

A semi-arid climate makes the Central West a good choice for heat-lovers. During the long summers, maximum temperatures hit 42 degrees on average, while winter maximums average 23.2 degrees and offer refreshingly cool mornings and nights with little rainfall.
