Located just 12km from the
Northern Territory border, Camooweal is the first (or last) chance to get fuel, food and accommodation in
Queensland, depending on which way you're heading. This small Outback post, which developed as a depot for teamsters and a service centre for the vast cattle stations of the Barkly Tableland, is the crossroads for some of the Outback's major tourist stops.
Camooweal Caves National Park is 8km south; Lawn Hills National Park,
Riversleigh Fossil Field, Gregory and
Burketown can be accessed to the north by dirt road;
Mount Isa is 188km east by bitumen road. The Barkly Highway, known to locals as Tojo's Highway, was built during World War II as a link between the south and the 'front line' of the Northern Territory.
