Your Greyhound bus to Longreach will drop you at the corner of Eagle Street and Duck Street, opposite the Commercial Hotel.
There is no public transportation system in Longreach, but there are taxi and car hire services that operate within the town. You can also visit the Longreach Visitor Information Centre (Qantas Park, 99A Eagle Street) to book an experience with one of several tour operators in the area.
Longreach is not a large town, so depending on your mobility, it may be possible to see everything you want on foot. Virtually all of the town’s shops are located on Eagle Street, along with several accommodation options. The Qantas Museum and Stockman’s Hall of Fame are roughly 2km (0.62mi) away from there – a walkable distance, if you can handle the heat of Longreach’s subtropical climate.
