Rockhampton-Barcaldine-Longreach by bus?

The train runs from Rockhampton to Longreach via Barcaldine - why not take a train each way!! Isn't it obvious? I'm travelling in a foreign country and want to see as much as possible instead of just repeating the same thing. A bus would obviously take a different route than the train. So..... which buses go between these places? Is Emerald the buses to take, as it seems from a search on the net? Hallvard, McCaffertys service this route, and are a large and reliable bus company. http://www.mccaffertys.com.au/ As do Greyhound/Pioneer http://www.greyhound.com.au/ In fact their route maps are exactly the same, so I expect they share the routes - but can't confirm this. I missed when, and where you were planning to go from and to, but they offer a few routes through the outback that crisscross Qld, as you will see from their website map. I was up in Blackwater (east of Emerald) for Xmas and it was hot and humid (there has been quite a bit of rain) and the bugs were thriving! And buffle grass rulez! The train follows the A4, once our Route 66, or Capricorn Highway, from Rocky to Longreach. All the way, so sights are the same on that bit. If I can help more mail the group or email me after removing the obvious, Cheerz Mark. |
