Things to do in Charleville

To chat face-to-face to a local about all the best things to see and do in Charleville, step into a Visitor Information Centre. 

Take the 100 or so army bases that were hidden around Charleville in WWII for instance, which can be found on a Top-Secret WWII tour.  

Like everywhere in Outback Queensland, the locals are friendly and warm, right down to the tiniest Charleville residents, bilbies, which can be found at the Charleville Bilby Experience.

Spend your day with Charleville’s smallest locals and contribute to this endangered species’ cause. The town’s work with bilby conservation has provided sustainability for this endangered desert species, breeding them for re-introduction to Currawinya National Park.  

In between organised activities, fill your days with a walk along the Warrego River, spotting birdlife and chasing down the best outback steak in town. 

Beyond Charleville, other towns of the south-west pocket beckon for adventure – whether it be hiking Carnarvon Gorge, going to see Australia’s largest cattle auction in Roma or soaking in a mineral-rich artesian mud bath in Eulo. 

No matter where you turn, you’ll uncover local secrets and characters at every town you encounter.
