Longreach Powerhouse and Historical Museum

Step Back in Time at the Longreach Powerhouse!

Uncover the sparks of history at one of Outback Queensland’s most fascinating museums.

Step inside Australia’s largest preserved rural generating facility and discover how the hum of engines once kept an entire community running. With original machinery, workshops, and interactive displays, kids (and grown-ups!) can explore the story of electricity in a way that feels hands-on and alive.

Beyond the powerhouse, wander through heritage treasures like Nogo Cottage, the Blacksmith’s Shed, and even one of Queensland’s earliest public swimming baths. From vintage farm machinery to typewriters and saddlery, every corner reveals a new glimpse into Longreach life across the decades.

It’s not just a history lesson—it’s a time-travelling adventure where families connect, stories are shared, and curiosity comes to life.
