Australian Stockmans Hall Of Fame - One Of The 50 Classic Outback Attractions

Explore the spirt of the outback at the Australian Stockmans Hall of Fame.

Each year, thousands make the pilgrimage to explore one of outback Australia's most famous destinations - Longreach in Queensland.  While Longreach boasts many tourist attractions, the Stockman's Hall of Fame is famous for its tribute to Australia's bush heritage and celebrates the legacy of the stockman.

A Classic Outback Attraction

Recognised as one of the top 50 classic outback attractions, the Australian Stockmans Hall of Fame was formed from a conviction that there was a need to capture and record the fast disappearing culture and unique history of Australia's pioneers. A commitment was made to establish a monument to the people that created that history.

It is a museum, gallery, entertainment facility, theatre and historical library where facts relating to the outback are preserved and illustrated for the education and entertainment of Australians and visitors to Australia.

To this end the Australian Stockman's Hall of Fame has become a mecca for those making the pilgrimage journey to its unique location at Longreach, in outback Queensland. The Outback Heritage Centre features extensive displays on the natural and cultural history of Longreach and the Australian Stockman, providing a fascinating insight for visitors to the region.     

The Museum has developed a national reputation for its collection and preservation of the stories of the nation's rural past and its innovative education programs and interactive displays.
