No beef here! Just a week long steak-out along The Overlanders Way.Community engagement, meating the locals, (horny four legged varieties included) informative bar chats, indulging in amazing outback experiences, appreciating the rugged landscapes, sunset hues and breathtaking country on offer in our own backyard while re-discovering the Flinders Highway that connects Townsville to Mount Isa via The Overlanders Way.
