Legendary <strong>Outback</strong><br />
In the face of extraordinary hardship and isolation the tenacity<br />
of <strong>Queensland</strong>’s <strong>Outback</strong> pioneers made dreams come true<br />
and forged the way for the dreams of future generations.<br />
Names such as Durack, Kidman, Miles and Howe join others<br />
that will forever stand in our nation’s history as the champions<br />
of the ‘lucky’ country. Their stories trace a common theme.<br />
These were the sons and daughters of immigrants who, with<br />
little more than hope and hard work, blazed the trail for the<br />
creation of new communities, economic wealth, and groundbreaking<br />
advancements in pastoral and mining industries,<br />
power generation, politics, aviation and medical services.<br />
