After the tranquility at Cooper Creek, we decided to spend one more night in the company of the millions of flies and mozzies at Noccundra. I know what you’re thinking…why? What can I say, we’re gluttons for punishment. Anyway, it was a good place to spend the night and I was rewarded by a …
We woke early the next day and retraced our way back to Cooper Creek. I was hoping that on the other side of the creek, we would find our blue box nestled in the grass, just waiting to come home. The trip to the creek was uneventful, and when we arrived there, we found …
The first thing to mention about the drive to Innaminka, is that we had to take a detour, and that gave us the opportunity to visit the site of the Burke and Wills Dig Tree. This is a site of great historical significance in Australia. I won’t go into the history here, but if …
For those of you who are not aware, we have had a lot of rain across Queensland through the latter part of 2020. Not drought breaking rain, but enough to transform the Queensland outback from shades of ochre, brown and gold, to ochre, green and yellow. I took dozens of photos of the landscape …
We continued to head west, our goal, Thargomindah. As per usual, we didn’t get to where we were heading. Get used to that. We pulled over for a break at Lake Bindegolly National Park, between Cunnamulla and Thargomindah, (you’ve got to love these names) and surprise, surprise we decided to spend the night. The …
Cunnamulla. What can I say about Cunnamulla? Well, it is a very sleepy town in outback Queensland, it can be extremely hot, though when we were there, the weather was perfect. There really isn’t that much to do there but, to be fair I think Covid-19 had taken its toll on the tiny town. …

Now here’s something you don’t come across every day. When we booked into Rolleston caravan park, we asked to book for three nights; we were told no. Not because they were full, but because nobody ever stayed that long, and they wouldn’t refund us when we decided to leave early. Okay, so what’s wrong …
So, our shakedown trip is done and dusted and we’re ready for our next foray into the wilderness. We repacked for a longer trip, including push bikes and an electric piano. What? You never know when you might need one. Once more we squeezed through the garden gates, and this time we managed to …
