We were thrilled to welcome Fun Over 50 Holidays to The Big Rig this week as part of the Backing the Outback initiative.

A great crowd joined The Big Rig Night Show on Wednesday and were lucky enough to experience mother nature’s own sound and light show with thunder and lightning circling throughout the evening, but thankfully the rain held off until after the Show.

These wonderful Outback journeys are travelling through Experience Outback Queensland, Australia , and it is terrific to see visitors enjoying the Roma, Charleville, Quilpie, Thargominda, Cunnamulla and St George regions.

Backing the Outback is a special purpose-led, non-profit recovery journey created to bring visitors, spending and confidence back to Outback Queensland and if you’d like to book your spot visit https://www.funover50holidays.com.au/our-tours/backing-the-outback
