The Globe<\/h3>

Once, The Globe was one of an inordinate number of pubs in town. Now, the old lady of Barcaldine\u2019s main street has been granted an exciting new lease of life with a $3 million makeover and a new commission – that of the town\u2019s visitor information centre and cultural precinct.<\/p>

The Globe dates back to 1910 and until its closure in 2011 was known as \u2018the workers\u2019 pub\u2019. With a great deal of work and contemporary architectural flair, it has been brought from its gently decaying state to landmark status. Re-stumped, re-roofed and re-verandahed, it\u2019s now the perfect setting for tourism and the arts. Visitors will enjoy browsing around History on Oak, which showcases the history of The Globe and Barcaldine itself. The ongoing project will also house the Galilee Gallery, an exhibition space for displays, art functions and events.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Tree of Knowledge<\/h3>

First stop after the Visitor Information Centre will be the Tree of Knowledge site. It\u2019s not often you see a memorial to a tree, but Barcaldine\u2019s Tree of Knowledge was no ordinary tree. It became part of the history of the town from the very beginning of settlement. A gigantic cube made from recycled timber and placed on the site of the tree, recreates the size of the canopy of the tree when it was in its prime during the 1891 Great Shearers\u2019 Strike, the event which led to the birth of the Australian Labor Party.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The tree itself has undergone a preservation process and forms part of the memorial. The award winning structure gives the illusion of a canopy over the tree. The structure is impressive during the day but when viewed at night is truly magnificent. Barcaldine also has a festival in the tree\u2019s honour.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Tree of Knowledge Festival<\/h3>\n

The Barcaldine Tree of Knowledge Festival will be in full swing over the Labour Day long weekend this year – and you\u2019re all invited. The event will run from Friday the 1st to Monday 4th of May. The Festival showcases the community spirit and all that is great about Barcaldine and the outback.<\/p>\n

Enjoy a night out on Oak Street on Friday night with entertainment and food stalls. Saturday will be jam-packed with markets, the Tree of Knowledge Cup Race Meeting and evening entertainment including goat races. Celebrations continue on Sunday with Barcy RevFest, miniature train rides, a church service and rugby league matches. The festival concludes with the May Day march and celebrations on Monday with entertainment for the whole family. Definitely a great weekend to be in Barcaldine.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Around Town<\/h3>\n

The main street showcases the history, arts and culture of the community. While you\u2019re in the main street of town, snap a photo of the windmill there. An icon of the bush, it stands as a reminder of the importance of windmills to a land that is often parched and relies on artesian water. This windmill is a 1917 C pattern model manufactured by Sidney Williams and was originally erected at Back Creek on the site of the first flowing bore in Queensland.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re musically inclined, have some fun playing the large \u2018thong-a-phone\u2019, piano and marinba in the main street. Constructed for public enjoyment, visitors are encouraged to try their hand. If you time your visit just right you might get to enjoy one of the Saturday fortnightly markets at the Village Green during the winter months.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Australian Workers Heritage Centre<\/h3>

The Centre\u2019s multi- purpose entrance building located on Oak Street (Barcaldine’s main street) features beautifully landscaped surrounds and houses the museum’s entrance and access to the 6 acre site and exhibitions and displays. The entrance building is also home to a unique retail destination stocking a wide range of products, with something for everyone. As well as an onsite cafe and outdoor undercover eating space where you can enjoy a barista coffee, meal or light refreshment in a pleasant and comfortable air-conditioned setting; all designed to further complement and enhance the visitor experience at the Workers Heritage Centre.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Many heritage sites or museums tell the\u00a0story of a well known person, a building or\u00a0an event in our history. But the Australian\u00a0Workers Heritage Centre in Barcaldine is\u00a0very different. It captures the spirit of working\u00a0Australians, telling their stories and celebrating\u00a0their contributions to the nation\u00a0we know today.<\/p>

Every Australian is a worker and workers\u00a0build nations. Opened in 1991 by then\u00a0Prime Minister, Bob Hawke, the museum\u00a0style exhibits tell the stories of everyday\u00a0working Australians in a wide variety of\u00a0fields. And there couldn\u2019t be a more fitting\u00a0place to honour the efforts of Australian\u00a0workers than Barcaldine.<\/p>

The industrial battle between shearers and\u00a0pastoralists during The Great Shearers\u2019\u00a0Strike of 1891 was to profoundly affect Australia\u2019s\u00a0industrial, social and political future.\u00a0Shearers set up \u2018base camps\u2019 on the northern\u00a0outskirts of Barcaldine and held their strike\u00a0meetings in the shade of perhaps Australia\u2019s\u00a0most well-known ghost gum \u2013 \u2018The Tree of\u00a0Knowledge\u2019. Fortunately the strike didn\u2019t\u00a0lead to civil war as widely feared. Instead,\u00a0the striking shearers used the ballot box to\u00a0make their voices heard.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Barcaldine Historical Museum<\/h3>

More history can be found at the Barcaldine Historical Museum, which operated as a bank for nearly 70 years before being relocated to the corner of Beech and Gidyea Streets and given a new job as the keeper of the town\u2019s history.<\/p>

The museum is open seven days from 7.00am (closed Good Friday and Christmas Day). Family days are held on the last Sunday of each month from March to November and feature a mini-steam train in operation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Heritage Trail<\/h3>

Follow Barcaldine\u2019s award-winning heritage trail. Pick up the booklet, Between the Bougainvilleas, and you\u2019ll be set to go. The old Radio Theatre was built in 1926 during the era of silent movies. After a long period of closure, it reopened in 1995. Enjoy the comfort of old style canvas seats as you watch a movie. Screening times can be found in the theatre foyer.<\/p>

The Railway Goods Shed was once the staging post for meetings during the Great Shearers\u2019 Strike but has since been moved to the Barcaldine Showgrounds. The Masonic Lodge is a great photo opportunity. Built in 1901, the lodge is one of the most unusual buildings in Barcaldine. The iron and timber facade is painted with three shades of paint to appear like stonework. Still used as a Masonic Temple for monthly meetings, a tour of the building with a local mason can be arranged at the Visitor Information Centre.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Bird Watching<\/h3>

When you\u2019re ready to go a little further afield, travel the 15km from town to the Lloyd Jones Weir where you can have a picnic, drop in a line or do some bird watching.<\/p>

Birdwatchers will also be keen to visit Lagoon Creek, on the outskirts of town, to walk among native vegetation along 2km of walking paths. More than 200 varieties of birds have been identified in the area.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

And Cheryl is well qualified to do just that. This caf\u00e9 has been in her family for many years.

Barcy Base Camp – Dig the Outback<\/h3>

Barcy Base Camp will have two new experiences for the traveller to Barcaldine – the Desert Dreaming Centre<\/strong> and the Dinosaur Dreaming Trail,<\/strong> both of which will come under the banner of Trackers Tours<\/strong>.<\/p>

The Desert Dreaming Centre will offer authentic Aboriginal interactive cultural and tribal experiences with descendants of the Yiningai tribe. There will be an array of options including tribal song and dance presentations, both during the day and in the evenings. Half day and full day tours will be available, where travelers can immerse themselves and their children into the richness of Aboriginal Australia, historically as well as with a contemporary insight.<\/p>

Each of these experiences will be further enhanced with a range of follow up workshop options ranging from dance lessons, tribal art sessions, Aboriginal technology presentations, such as boomerang lore, throwing classes and making and decorating your own personalised boomerang, to bush tucker tasting and cooking.<\/p>

Additionally, Trackers Tours will be offering a further collection of \u2018Shared History\u2019 tours around town and beyond to share the stories of the pioneering resilient settlers and our ever resilient current residents of The Outback.<\/p>

The Dinosaur Dreaming Trail will introduce renowned Queensland Outback palaeontologist Paul Stumkat. Paul has been a major contributor to the existing Dinosaur trails across the Outback over the past two decades. Also going by the name of \u2018The Dinosaur Hunter\u2019 Paul, with his unique, deep knowledge of the natural history of this country, will blaze a new Dinosaur trail to expand on and connect with the existing trails. The Dinosaur Dreaming Trail will offer workshops, fossil digs and personalised tag along tours.<\/p>

The Dinosaur Hunter will join forces with Trackers Tours and combine Paleo tourism with Indigenous tourism. Together they will create a blend of previously unavailable natural, scientific and cultural experiences catering to individuals, couples, groups and families. No matter what your age, fitness or interests are, Trackers Tours will have you covered to make your stay in the town worth the while.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Trackers Tours<\/h3>\n

The Queensland Outback has a rich evolutionary past, from long forgotten inland seas, which was home to mysterious and magnificent creatures from the deep, to the desert channels and spinifex country we know today. The Outback was also home of the Yiningai people and the incredibly resilient settlers of the past, and is home to the ever-resilient current residents of today.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Desert Dreaming<\/h3>

The Desert Dreaming Centre is so called to acknowledge and honour the identity of the \u201cDesert Mob\u201d, with Barcaldine\u2019s original tribal inhabitants connected to an array of tribes that extended from the Desert Uplands, the Channel country and all the way down into Lake Eyre, and Dreaming refers to a system and practice of beliefs that had their origins long, long ago, though continue to be held in the minds and practised by many Aboriginal people to this day. The Desert Dreaming Centre will provide a range of tribal experiences for visitors to Barcaldine, providing positive, informative, hands on cultural experiences that will leave lasting impressions on the participants. The experiences will be guided and informed by the knowledge of the still existing original inhabitants of this country. Visitors will learn about Aboriginal history pre-colonisation, as well as the shared history between the two cultures. The goal will be to have these experiences presented by Aboriginal people from the surrounding tribes.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

An exisitng dwelling will be refurbished using local labour, with the centre to be staffed primarily from the local community. A culture of traineeships will be established to provide opportunity for the Aboriginal and other youth of Barcaldine to aspire to work in the tourism and hospitality industry either in town or elsewhere. The Desert Dreaming centre will be the hub and the infrastructure to provide these training opportunities.<\/p>

Over time, the Desert Dreaming Centre will expand to provide other services such as eco tourism, accommodation, education and healing centres. Tribal philosophies of landcare and management will be used, as well as tribal uses of native plants, with a transition of these philosophies that are embedded within the local Aboriginal culture to guide all of the experiences and future enterprises.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The Desert Dust Dancers<\/h3>

Through the Desert Dust Dancers, Cheryl Thompson is reviving and renewing the lore and cultural practices of her ancestors using her tribal language.<\/p>

The members of the dance troupe are all students at the Alice River Aboriginal Hostel, run by Cheryl. Public dance presentations give students the chance to create some modest earnings that can be put towards set goals.<\/p>

The narratives and dances begin to tell the story of Cheryl\u2019s people in the context of tribal living and times. The portfolio is small right now, but it will grow as the students gain confidence and the permission to share their mob\u2019s stories through song and dance.<\/p>

The dance troupe is fluid, changing with each year\u2019s enrolments at the hostel.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Homestead Caravan Park and Cabins<\/h3>

At this exact spot more than three decades ago, the billy was filled and damper dough placed in a campoven nestled in hot coals. It was the start of a tradition that has passed faithfully from owner to owner in the intervening years to give guests at the Barcaldine Homestead Caravan Park a taste of the bushman\u2019s smoko. The practice has always been hugely popular with guests, who even go so far as to say that this park has the best damper in the west.<\/p>

Every day during the season, guests are treated to this famous bush smoko around 4.30pm. As well, there\u2019s a great line-up of entertainers organised for this year. You\u2019ll get anything from country music to 70s rock and roll six nights a week (Tuesday to Sunday) during the tourist season.<\/p>

Friday and Saturday nights have been getting rave reviews for a number of years over the cuisine of a different nationality. You can get Chinese takeaway on those nights.<\/p>

And any morning is the perfect time for a brekky wrap\u2014a tortilla filled with breakfast food, including hash browns! They go like hot cakes, with 20 or 30 served up within an hour or two every morning.<\/p>

Guests also appreciate the Rolls Royce of coffee machines that\u2019s in the shop, whether their favourite is cappuccino, mochaccino or some other kind of cino!<\/p>

The shop is popular with park guests and townsfolk alike, and you will find a range of products including phone recharges, basic groceries, dog food and auto products. The complex also has a service station that sells discounted fuel.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The park itself is like an oasis \u2013 green with lovely mature plantings \u2013 and is quiet,

Keep in touch with the free wifi access or enjoy using the book exchange. And if you\u2019re in the park on June 15, it\u2019s your lucky day. That\u2019s the day Ben and Thanh celebrate their park anniversary.
