Birdsville

Tucked along the Diamantina River on the eastern fringe of the Simpson Desert, Birdsville is a place whose character is shaped by desert remoteness and the river’s seasonal flows. The Birdsville Track, a historic stock route from South Australia, reaches the town after crossing vast pastoral country. Each September, the Birdsville Races bring a celebrated outback gathering to its racecourse, continuing a tradition that began in 1882. East of town, the dune fields of the Simpson Desert extend towards the Queensland–Northern Territory border. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Queensland’s outback.
