Ever been to Birdsville?
IF YOU’VE HEARD OF THE ISOLATED, iconic, historic outback township of Birdsville in Queensland’s remote Diamantina region, then you’ve probably heard of the famous Birdsville Races, the vast Simpson Desert and its Big Red Sand Dune, and the circa drop in for a beer. But what else can you expect from this bucket-list outback destination? For starters, you can expect outstanding country hospitality, year-round, from some of the warmest and friendliest locals you could ever hope to meet. You can expect authentic outback ›lavours; in fact, once you’ve sampled a camel pie from the Birdsville Bakery, you’ll have a new appreciation for what authentic outback ›lavour is. In this case, it’s got a lamb-like texture with a hint of curry and a convenient C on the crust. But if you need a fall-back that’s just as authentic, try the kangaroo and claret pie or the berri quandong tart.
