廣闊的巴克利高原從坦南特溪以東延伸到昆士蘭，面積超過 280,000 平方公里，覆蓋了該地區約 20% 的土地面積。
Barkly 以其金色的草原和廣闊的藍天而聞名，賦予它獨特的內陸空間感和自由感。高原上的養牛站位於這裡，有些像歐洲國家一樣大，該地區以過去前往昆士蘭的史詩般的養牛場而聞名。
該地區日曆上最大的活動之一是布魯內特唐斯比賽，這是一場叢林比賽，於 6 月在坦南特克里克東北 350 公里處的一個車站舉行。遊客從澳大利亞各地飛來，參加為期四天的具有獨特內陸風味的叢林比賽。
Barkly Homestead 位於 Barkly 和 Tablelands 高速公路的交界處，是高原地區唯一的服務中心，為往返昆士蘭的長途駕車提供了一個令人愉快的休息場所。
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.
