Information
In 1974, Hugh Sawrey, well known stockman and outback artist, enlisted supporters for his dream for a memorial to the explorers, overlanders, pioneers and settlers of remote Australia. To build and outfit the Australian Stockman's Hall of Fame, they had to raise AUD$12.5 million.
The chosen site in Longreach in central western Queensland was once a teamster's stop beside a large waterhole. From humble beginnings as a stock route junction on the 'long reach' of the Thomson River, the town is now serviced by road, rail and air.
The Australian Stockman's Hall of Fame is a must-see for any traveller to Australia. The Hall of Fame pays tribute to Australia's pioneers and their contribution to the nation's development.
From the nation's earliest days, the stockman has been a symbol of courage, resilience and hard work, and this Heritage Centre celebrates the lives of these hard-working individuals. Through interactive exhibits, visitors can learn about Australia's heritage, explore stories of the nation's past, and gain insight into the culture and people of the land.
