Thomson River, Longreach

Enjoy the Thomson River just a short drive from Longreach, have a picnic in the park or along the banks of the river. A great location to watch the sunrise or sunset colours reflect off the water. Take some nibbles and enjoy a sunset view from the pedestrian bridge or Apex Park. Take advantage of the boat ramp put in your boat or kayak in and explore the river or even go for a swim. Take a walk along the banks of the river and discover the wildlife and maybe even snap a photo or two. Do you like to throw a line in?? Well you won’t be disappointed when fishing along the banks of the Thomson River with Yellowbelly, Black Brim or a Yabbie or two. Have you ever see the stars without all the city lights? Take a quick drive out of Longreach and check out the sky. We suggest heading out towards to the Thomson River and Apex Park for some Star Gazing.
