Longreach

Longreach is a town located in central western Queensland, Australia and is approximately 700 kilometres from the coast, west of Rockhampton. The town is named after the 'long reach' of the Thomson River on which it is situated and was gazetted a town in 1887.

Longreach is home to the Australian Agricultural College Corporation's Longreach Campus. It was known previously as the Longreach Pastoral College. The campus was opened in 1967.

A number of Queensland towns have their streets named to a theme. In the case of Longreach, the streets are named after birds, the main street being Eagle Street.
