Description

Old stock yards and windmill in Idalia National Park. Visit innovative stake stockyards built from the 1920s to 1950s to hold up to 300 cattle during muster. Wander among the rusty iron and splintered bush timber relics, imagining the stories behind them. Idalia National Park is 113km south-west of Blackall in the Gowan Ranges. Access to Idalia is suitable for four-wheel-drive only. Take the Isisford Road from Blackall for 42km then turn left into the Yaraka Road. At the Benlidi siding, turn left and follow the ldalia-Benlidi Road for about 34km to the park boundary. Many outback roads are unsealed. Even small amounts of rain can make roads impassable so always be prepared and have at least a weeks worth of extra supplies in case of stranding. Check with the RACQ or local council offices for current road conditions before your trip. Pets are not permitted. No camping or overnight parking.
