Venue Highlights
The Dingo Caves lie just 15km to the north of Birdsville in South Western Queensland. The caves were so named a number of years ago by local school children, for no other reason other than the children thought that dingos may use to caves to look after their pups. Being one of the few hillsides in the region, the Dingo Caves offers visitors a wonderful view of the surrounding countryside, including the rare desert Waddi Trees.
Sunsets from atop the cave are an ideal spot for pre-dinner champagne and hors doeuvres.
Guests are then able to take a short stroll to the bottom of the caves for a spectacular outback dinner under the stars.

Accolades
Testimonial Excerpt: We have just completed a 4WD trip to Alice Springs and across the Simpson Desert to Birdsville. We arrived in B'ville in time for the rain which cut the roads and left us stranded for 5 days. We thought we would be spending our time playing cards, however found ourselves attending several social events for the Qld Governor's visit including dinner at the Community Hall for approx 150 people, graciously sponsored by Diamantina Shire. We all had a wonderful time in Birdsville and came away with warm feeling for the town and the lovely people we met. We will never forget the kindness of the people and the generosity of the council for including us as 'residents' at the dinner. We will be ambassadors for Birdsville forever.
