Barcaldine Regional Council

Very disappointing coming through Barcaldine this time. Pubs now either closed down or turned into something else. None of the ones open even serve food anymore! Virtually nothing open on the weekends and no where to eat! We travel consistently through rural Australian outback towns and have never come across this situation. It looks like soon these once thriving towns will be no more! It's sad to see. 😌😢

We have been coming through here many times and always enjoyed our stop here. Lovely clean ammenities. We were disappointed to hear today that the pricing has altered. $27 a night for power is reasonable, BUT to charge the same for unpowered is ridiculous. Why would a tent site only be $5 ? what is the difference ! It is obvious that Mr Stephen Boxall must have financial interest in the caravan parks. We who like free range camping will not go to caravan parks. The money we bring to support the west will not be spent in your town. If we don't stop, We don't spend. We were going to stay 3 nights ,but decided to move on.

A big thank you to the Barcaldine Regional Council for the wonderful facilities at the show grounds. We had a few days stop over there and I must say, it is a credit to you all. The lady at the front counter at the council office was so nice and helpful and because we were waiting on a job to come through the council allowed us to stay longer. I wish nothing but good things for this great town and those that are keeping it alive and pumping.
