Western Queensland
May 2026

The Flock are flying to remote western Queensland for an unforgettable journey into Australia's true outback!

After all the floods and rainfall in the channel country of QLD, we’ve decided to run a small last minute tour to see this part of the country in the most epic conditions. Our Wild Channel Country tour starts in Mount Isa, and will loop down to Winton, Boulia and Birdsville

This is an incredible part of Australia which is usually pretty arid and dry. Rains further north flows down the incredible channels that eventually drain into Lake Eyre.
