MEAT ANT PARK

Public BBQ

Nestled in the quirky outback town of Augathella, Meat Ant Park offers a delightfully eccentric pit stop beneath the watchful gaze of the town's famous Big Meat Ant sculpture. The park's covered picnic tables provide welcome respite from the Queensland sun, making it an ideal spot for a proper barbecue lunch while the kids burn off energy in the adjacent playground. The facilities are refreshingly practical - clean toilets within easy walking distance mean parents can relax without the usual desperate dash across town that characterises many outback stops. It's the sort of unpretentious, functional park that embodies small-town Australia's knack for combining the essential with the endearingly odd, where a giant insect sculpture somehow makes perfect sense as a backdrop for your cheese and pickle sandwiches.
