Aramac - Places to See

Quiet service town in outback Queensland.

The Tramway

One of the town's few tourist attractions the display of rolling stock is located in a large shed on the southern side of town. It is open for inspection from 9.00 a.m. to 4.00 p.m. each day and, in the unlikely event of it being locked, a key is obtainable from the Shire Council Offices.

Lake Galilee
The other main attraction in the area is located approximately 100 km north-east of the town. Lake Galilee is a saltwater lake which covers about 15 000 ha. It is the only wetlands area in central Queensland and consequently is the home of a large waterfowl population.

Lake Dunn
Closer to town is Lake Dunn, known as 'The Lake'. It is a freshwater lake and the local council have gone to some trouble to render the shores attractive and provide picnic facilities. The foreshores have good stands of red river gums and coolibahs and, in recent years, it has become a popular destination for locals. However, in spite of the council's best efforts, the lake is muddy in appearance and therefore of greatest appeal to birdwatchers and nature lovers.

Aboriginal Remnants
There are ancient inscriptions on a boulder known locally as the Grey Rock. More detailed information about this site is available from the local Post Office or Shire Council offices.
