Many roads lead in and out of Muttaburra….

From Barcaldine – 152 klms sealed bitumen.
From Longreach – (via “Fairfield” and “Crossmoor” stations) 116km, 109km of which is unsealed.
From Longreach – (via “Longway” and “Dalmore” stations) 7km north on the Winton road turn off to the east. This route is 119km, 20kms of which is unsealed. For the adventurous there is also another alternate route which locals call the “Straight Road” or “River Road” which can take in a visit to Starlight’s Lookout and is an unsealed road but is a great drive when conditions are good.

From Townsville – via Charters Towers, turning left at Torrens Creek onto the Torrens Creek/Aramac road, past Bowen Downs turning right at the T-piece when you reach the Aramac/Muttaburra road. This route is 605klms with 30 klms unsealed on the Torrens Creek road end. You can also turn right just before Bowen Downs and travel 40klms on an unsealed road to Muttaburra.

Prairie, Winton (via Morella) and Hughenden can also be accessed from Muttaburra.

Check with local authorities the current condition of all unsealed roads before heading off.
