Emerald Inn — Forty-Five Minutes from the Springsure Arena

Springsure is about 45 minutes south of us, and beds there are limited when the rodeo is on. Basing yourself at 28–30 Esmond Street means a comfortable drive down and a proper night afterwards, with Virgin Rock worth a stop on the way if you have not seen it.

Rodeo dust and a long day in the sun make the rain shower and the washer-dryer in every apartment more useful than they sound. Floats and larger vehicles use the street parking around the property; cars go undercover for free.
