    We stayed in the slab huts, they are gorgeous. I was driving with a trailer load of stuff (1400km across qld) and stopped here over night, and they were nothing but helpful in ensuring I could park! The outdoor bath was awesome.

    Seems like the nicest place in Longreach. The stables out the back are the nicest rooms. The host is a good guy who is very helpful, plus he has a fridge with some nice wines and beers for sale.
