Stubby Bend

Welcome to Stubby Bend Tambo, a tranquil camping ground situated by the banks of Barcoo River, away from the bustling noise of the highway.

This site is perfect for fully self-contained travellers looking for a serene and natural escape. When the waterhole is high, you can catch a yellowbelly for an evening meal.

At Stubby Bend, be sure to explore the Coolibah Walk and the natural flora along the river banks. A must-visit is the historic Qantas crash site where you can reflect on the significance of this event while admiring its historical significance. The area is a natural environment that requires care and protection, so please use the bins provided and leave the area clean. It is essential to not throw any rubbish into the river. Furthermore, the area is subject to flooding in wet seasons - therefore, it is recommended to park on the gravel area. You can access the site via a gravel strip adjacent to the Barcoo River. It is located approximately 45km east of Tambo, and access to the site is via the Barcoo River Road.
