The Australian Stockman’s Hall of Fame and Outback Heritage Centre is one of Australia’s most iconic cultural attractions, proudly celebrating the spirit, courage, and resilience of the men and women who shaped life in the outback. Located in Longreach, Queensland, the museum stands as a tribute to pioneers, pastoralists, stockmen, and Aboriginal peoples whose skills and strength built the foundations of rural Australia.

From the moment visitors step Through the Gate, they embark on an immersive journey through history. The museum’s carefully curated galleries showcase a rich collection of artefacts, artworks, and multimedia displays that bring to life the stories of survival and ingenuity in some of the harshest conditions on earth. Each gallery explores a different chapter of outback heritage—covering themes such as exploration, settlement, Indigenous culture, agriculture, and the development of aviation and transport that connected remote communities.

The Cinematic Experience is a highlight not to be missed.
