Day 1 Brisbane/CunnamullaTravel from Queensland's laidback capital, Brisbane, through open, sheep-speckled plains to Cunnamulla, a riverside pioneering town. Day 2 EuloExplore the outback town of Eulo in a classic old Holden, an Aussie icon in itself. Peruse some local art, visit a date farm and indulge in some date wine. In the evening be sure to share a beer and a yarn with the locals at the pub. Days 3-4 CunnamullaAfter breakfast in the bush, visit Lover's Leap.
