Looking around Blackall
Blackall is a small town in central west Queensland that takes us back in time. It was here that Jack Howe set a record for shearing 321 sheep with blade sheers in 7 hrs 40 mins. The old woolscour has been refurbished and is the only working steam powered woolscour in Australia. Its an interesting place to visit and stop-over for a couple of days.

04:48 Pioneer Bore
05:15 Ram Park Museum
05:45 Sunset at the Roly Poly Sculpture
Today Blackall is the centre of a huge cattle industry, but it celebrates its past connections with the wool and sheep industry with the Blackall Woolscour, Ram Park and sculpture of legendary shearer Jack Howe.
When we visited Blackall, we started the day with coffee and cake at the Lodge on Hawthorn, then swam at the Blackall Aquatic Centre before exploring the Blackall Wool Scour. We then wandered around Blackall, looking at the murals and sculptures, discovered the black stump and visited Ram Park. We finished the day watching the sunset at the Roly Poly sculpture.
The Lodge on Hawthorn is a beautiful heritage-listed building with a cafe, antique and gift shop. We enjoyed our coffee and cake and a wander around the lovely gardens.
In 1885, Blackall was the first Outback town to start drilling an artesian bore; today, the Blackall Aquatic Centre uses these natural artesian waters in its thermal spa and swimming pool. It is open daily, and visitors can swim, relax and revive in the lovely warm water.
The Blackall Woolscour operated from 1908 to 1978 and is Australia’s last remaining steam-operated wool-washing plant. Passionate volunteers conduct guided tours several times a day, where you will learn about the Woolscour and the sheep industry.
We wandered around Blackall, admiring the attractive Street Art and the life-sized sculptures.
Blackall was the birthplace of the Perry Brothers Circus, the first circus to circumnavigate Australia and start the nation's circus industry. On display in Banks Park, you can see ‘Jumbo’, the Elephant.
The Black Stump was used for surveying purposes and permanently marked the original Astro Station established in 1887. Anything west of this point is said to be ‘beyond the black stump’.
Local shearer Jack Howe put Blackall on the map in 1892 at the ‘Alice Downs station when he set a world record by shearing 321 sheep in seven hours and 40 minutes. It took another 58 years before anyone could match this feat, and that shearer was using machine shears.
Drilling commenced on Queensland's first artesian bore at the Pioneer Bore site in 1885; you can see the artesian water, which is 58 degrees and a lovely mural and two heritage farm machines here.
You can see a large Ram, a heritage railway, old buildings and machinery at the Ram Park Museum.

Queensland's Central West has been keeping a few things secret for a while now... but the Blackall - Tambo Region wants to share their treasures with everyone.
We're inviting you to discover the real stories, the gems and characters that make our unique region so special.
If you're looking for a tree change, or a new place to explore, then the Blackall - Tambo region has it all. Unique wildlife - unique people and a unique rural lifestyle that can't be beaten.
When you come to Our Unique Region you'll feel welcomed by everyone. Come for a visit and you'll stay forever.
The people who live here feel blessed to have found a thriving community built on hard work and determination.
The smiling, happy faces that greet you are always willing to chat, to help each other whether you're a local or not.
If you're strolling down Blackall's main street, quenching a thirst at our friendly pubs or enjoying our famous art and sculptures, you'll find the real treasures of Blackall. Our creative spirit shines in everything we do and you're more than welcome to join us in the fun.
It doesn't matter how you get here - by air or road - as long as you know that in our region there's no shortage of things to see and do.
That's why every year traveller's and 'tree-changers' head our way to experience our unique places to stay.
Our stories are spoken and sung to you by our locals wherever you go.
We're truly proud of our place and were happy to tell you all about it.
Blackall is a place for the young and not so young. There's something for everyone here.
Our region is renowned for our wealth of produce. We're the home of world class cattle and sheep that are the heart of our vibrant economy.
Our natural heritage is vast and diverse too. When you get out here you'll be amazed at Blackall's neighbouring National Parks and our stunning native animals and plants.
Another great reason people travel here is national treasure and local shearing legend Jackie Howe.
Just a short trip from Tambo and you'll discover the Wilderness Way.
It's part of Sir Thomas Mitchell's original track through the region and meanders around the scenic views of the Great Dividing Range, Salvatore Rosa National Park and back to Tambo. You mustn't miss it!
It's amazing how much the landscape changes along the way.
Just park up for free camping in Tambo and enjoy the many walks around the place. You'll soon find out why Tambo - the oldest town in the Central West - was originally settled and became famous for it's wool and nowadays for its handmade woollen teddy bears.
It didn't take long for our community to grow into the great little town that's full of welcoming faces.
Drop into one of our watering holes for a yarn with a friendly local and find out why Tambo's a top place to live or stay, whether it's for a lifetime or a picnic in the park.
At first, Tambo may seem like a sleepy little village but there's plenty to see and do here too.
Tambo comes to life on race days, polocrosse meets - in fact if you're adventurous you'll find your place soon enough. There's just so much room to move - just saddle up and start exploring!
Locals remember the fateful day of Australia's first and only QANTAS crash here on Tambo's own claypan...
Tambo has a proud history that can be seen throughout our heritage precinct. The court house, post office and telegraph station are great places to experience our history first hand.
Well what do you reckon??? Not bad for a little town that been around for 150 years'.
Well, we've got to leave you now. It's all up to you! Now it's your turn to make the journey and enjoy what we enjoy everyday - our unique region of Blackall and Tambo... See you soon!
BTW, no bears were harmed in the making of this film...
