Barcaldine Rifle Club - Barcaldine Rifle RangeDid you know?In 1982 Percy Pavey, arguably Australia's greatest full bore rifle shooter,
was an inaugural inductee to the
Australian
Stockman's Hall of Fame at Longreach in Queensland. Longreach is only
an hours drive on from the Barcaldine Rifle Range. The range is
situated about two minutes from the centre of historic
Barcaldine, the acknowledged birth place of the Australian Labour Party and
the "Tree of Knowledge", a 150 year old ghost gum which was deliberately
poisoned in 2006.
