The FarOut story
Central West Queensland is full of unknown opportunities. After working closely with the Regional Australia Institute, market researchers, current and former residents, RAPAD uncovered the necessary data and information to properly promote and share the proven opportunities that Central West Queensland has on offer. FarOut was born to provide a genuine perspective of Central West Queensland and its living, working, and investment opportunities. The brand FarOut stands for the region, the communities, it’s a mindset and another way of living, and it’s yours if you choose.
