Checking out the improved Longreach YLRE

[ozcanuck55 235]

There's not a lot around Longreach, WA except for cattle stations ( really big cattle stations) and space. It's a 2.5 hour flight to Mackay on the coast. Taking a look around the upgraded airport can reveal some interesting things though. MSFS has done a great job here and in Mackay.

The town where Qantas began to grow(also location of Qantas Museum) after it was born in  Winton (not far away) over 101 years ago.

Qantas FOUNDERS Museum is a nice visit IRL. People often think Qantas was Australia’s first airline, but I think it was actually Western Australian Airlines (WAA).  Cheers.

Nice pics, OP.  Not sure what the WA is in your post - couldn’t be Western Australia because the airport is of course in QLD, Queensland.  Cheers.
