Description:
Cheepie is an abandoned railway town east of Quilpie. It is often referred to as a ghost town because it only has one resident. The town was formed in 1914 and the only building still utilised today is the old post office. There is a great Outback look to Cheepie with its dry red dirt. Located 918km (570 miles / 11 hrs 20 mins) from Village Roadshow Studios. The nearest airport is Charleville Airport (CTL). Flights take approximately two hours from Brisbane Airport (BNE). The closest POH, Brisbane City, is 880km (545 miles / 11 hrs 5 mins) away.
