Stonehenge, QLD: A Classic Outback Stop
Stonehenge is the kind of town where you blink and almost miss it—but that would be a mistake. Sitting in the heart of outback Queensland, this tiny spot is home to a true-blue Aussie pub, friendly locals, and a peaceful campground right across the road.
After a long drive, pulling up at the Stonehenge Hotel felt like finding an oasis. The pub is the heart of the town, a place where travellers and locals gather for a cold drink, a yarn, and a classic pub meal. Walking in, we were welcomed like old friends, which is something we love about these small-town stops. There’s no rush, no pretence—just good people, cold beer, and stories shared across the bar.
The free campground across the road is simple but perfect. Flat spots, basic facilities, and plenty of space to soak in the outback silence. As the sun set, the sky lit up in a fiery display of oranges and reds, making it one of the best spots we’ve camped in for sheer atmosphere.
Stonehenge might not be on every traveller’s list, but it should be. It’s a true outback experience—laid-back, welcoming, and a reminder of why we love hitting the road.
