On the corner opposite the Hotel Shakespeare was an amazing gift shop. There was someone in the shop as tables and chairs were out by around 8.30 so thought we would check it out around 9.00. Unfortunately it didn't open until maybe 9.30 so the man didn't make any sales. He wandered around inside .Just feel like these towns need the support but the hours certainly don't fit the tourists so unfortunately no dollars spent here.

Barcaldine has plenty of history to check out if your interested in that sort of thing. Fuel is always much more expensive than the towns before and after so plan ahead if your filing long range tanks as it adds up.

Barcaldine is a wonderful place, wonderful history and great pride in the town. People ovbviously care about the town. I felt welcomed there. I particularly like the water ski area. It's a great asset to have. It was great to walk around the town and see so much of the history of the area. Thankyou Barcaldine.

The town is well catered for in retail stores, and jas some interesting history, but the time of year we were there coincided with some kind of agricultural process resulting in the town being enveloped in an odour some may find unpleasant.

Beyond belief. It’s so run down & dingy it’s sad. I wouldn’t recommend anyone stay here unless they’re desperate. Carpets are stained, 2 seater sofa stained, Bed sheets clean but bed was broken, walls dirty, just yuck.

A small quaint country town, lots to see and do! Don't just bypass it, there is the Tree of Knowledge monument, the Australian Workers Heritage Centre, Alice River, Ski Park, Lara Wetlands! Worth a stay for a night or two to take it all in. I wish we had more time to stay to check it out but with a busy schedule and events to attend we definitely didn't get enough time to explore. For those who are mobile, leave the car at home, everything is an easy walk on paved streets and is super safe. Though if a car is needed, ample parking everywhere with large parking spaces. Limited food options are available, a few pub meals, the ski park diner and Turf & Surf is around but keep in mind opening hours vary differently from the city. The IGA is full and well supplied but again, keep in mind opening hours differ and it is closed on a Sunday.
