Description:
Bladensburg National Park has a wide variety of landscapes from grassland plains inhabited by kangaroos, to dry creek beds, to flat-topped mesas. There are small gorges, water holes and red-earth jump-ups along with plateaus and sandstone ranges. Several good vantage points are situated in the Park. An interesting feature on the land is the original station house, which was built in 1890 and remains in relatively original condition. It includes the surrounding shearer’s quarters and sheds with a view of the desert plains. Located approximately 1350km (15 h) from Village Roadshow Studios. The nearest airport is Longreach Airport (LRE). Flights take approximately two hours from Brisbane Airport. Brisbane City is the closest POH and it is roughly 1300km (14 h 30 min) away.
