广阔的巴克利高原从坦南特溪以东延伸到昆士兰，面积超过 280,000 平方公里，覆盖了该地区约 20% 的土地面积。
Barkly 以其金色的草原和广阔的蓝天而闻名，赋予它独特的内陆空间感和自由感。高原上的养牛站位于这里，有些像欧洲国家一样大，该地区以过去前往昆士兰的史诗般的养牛场而闻名。
该地区日历上最大的活动之一是布鲁内特唐斯比赛，这是一场丛林比赛，于 6 月在坦南特克里克东北 350 公里处的一个车站举行。游客从澳大利亚各地飞来，参加为期四天的具有独特内陆风味的丛林比赛。
Barkly Homestead 位于 Barkly 和 Tablelands 高速公路的交界处，是高原地区唯一的服务中心，为往返昆士兰的长途驾车提供了一个令人愉快的休息场所。
True cattle country
Drive through the Mitchell grassland, through which hardy stockmen drove their cattle along the tablelands’ endless stock routes not so long ago.
These plains are home to cattle stations the size of small European countries. Road trains have taken over the droving, but the same plucky characters still work the cattle today. You can meet a few of them at the iconic Barkly Homestead, the tablelands’ only service centre.
