Toompine, Queensland

South Western Hotel, Toompine‘The Pub with no town’. Cobb and Co, once serviced this town with its regular coach schedules. All that remains today of theses early pioneering days is the Toompine Hotel (circa 1893). As with any of the Outback pubs, apart from enjoying a drink, stay a while and soak up the takes of another era. Accommodation and meals are available at the Toompine Hotel.

Ask for directions to the Toompine Cemetery just a kilometre away and find out why it is called a ‘cemery’ (not cemetery). Just down the track from the famous Toompine Pub is an excellent fishing and yabbying area.

Try your luck fossicking Duck Creek Opal Mine and Sheep Creek Station Opal Mine. Fossicking licences are required and can be obtained from the Quilpie Information Centre. Annual events include the Easter Sunday Toompine Clay Target Shoot and the Toompine Gymkhana usually held in October.
