Wide-open spaces, slower paces and memorable places. Hughenden is the centre point for your outback adventure and it has plenty to offer visitors. Whether you’re looking to take a deep breath of the country air after a long haul drive and enjoy a cup of coffee while you figure out which adventure to embark on next. Or, simply want to base yourself at the centre of the experience and place to hang your hat between explorations. “Hughie” has something for you.
Dinosaur lovers will need to meet “Hughie” our seven-metre tall “Muttaburrasaurus” replica and take in the newly refurbished Brodie st with its biophilic design and scattered artworks. Head to the historic Coolibah Tree, a monument to the history of Australia and the two relief expeditions that went in search of the Bourke and Wills expedition. The whole town is steeped in history both recent and ancient and imparts a sense of awe for new travellers – make sure you give yourself time to take it in.
