P.S Free camp is $10/night and was absolutely packed when I was there so I back pedalled 8km to a bush camp, way off the road. Blackall is a fantastic little place for a stop, with genuinely friendly people and enough shops. Ram Park Museum is a "must see" with its guided tours conducted by an old cowboy who knows heaps about the towns history.
Thanks for updating price Yobarr. Looks like they upped it in 2019 from $8 to $10.
Yes, as I said, the 'free' camp was packed and I can only imagine the queue across the road at the only nearby toilet. Museum has wagon-wheel making display, water pump powered by horse walking in circles, a couple of Army-type Blitz trucks, all sorts of old farm machinery, buck rakes, side rakes, tractors, balers etc. And Blackall is the site of the Black Stump, as referred to in the saying "Beyond the Black Stump". Cheers
