Helpfulness
From Brisbane to Toowoomba by any means you prefer.
Then, from Toowoomba, a train or bus to Dalby (pronounced "Dorlby") takes you past the huge "wheat belt" of Australia and into the sheep and cattle area.
Dalby is not the place where most tourists go.
It's around 2 1/2 hour car trip, 3 1/2 hour train trip from Toowoomba.
It's flat, no hills and farms of wheat, barley, milo and most other grains can be seen as far as the eye can see.
Dalby itself is a good stop off point.
There's dozens of reasonably priced motels and hotels to stay at.
Dalby has Queensland's largest sheep and cattle sales yards, which, on auction day, is worth the experience if you can stand the dust and smell.

You can hire a car but because of the huge distances, it can be very expensive.
The train and bus network in western Queensland is quite good, regular and reliable.
The best way to see any parts of Australia, are by campervan but you need several months to warrant the cost of buying and selling.
For a foreigner with limited time and money, i'd suggest trains and busses.
Many locals (in the country) will be very happy to give you a lift in their direction, from town to town.
That's the cheapest way of getting around.
