In 1974, Hugh Sawrey,
well known stockman and outback artist, enlisted supporters for his dream for a memorial to the
explorers, overlanders, pioneers and settlers of remote Australia. To build and outfit the Australian Stockman's Hall of Fame, they had to raise AUD$12.5 million.
The chosen site in
Longreach in central western Queensland was once a teamster's stop beside a large
waterhole. From humble beginnings as a stock route
junction on the 'long reach' of the
Thomson River, the town is now serviced by road, rail and air.
