Ram Park

Description:

Under the watchful eye of the big ram, Ram Park is a collection of old buildings filled with displays and stories that bring Blackall's colourful history to life, preserving it for future generations. Visitors can wander through the station homestead and gain a feel of a life gone by or visit the Yalleroi school house to take in a lesson or two. Strolling through the grounds visitors can visualise how the pioneers tried to tame the outback using an array of machinery. Top off the day by joining Stewie, a former stockman for a tour of the park complete with demonstrations of bush craft and his stockmanship skills. Ram Park is also home to the Blackall Visitor Information Centre, located inside the restored Blackall railway station. Travellers can pull into the station, have a cuppa, a chat with the friendly staff and discover what present day Blackall can offer those who visit the town on the 'banks of the Barcoo'.
