We knew our trip was coming to an end, but we had to squeeze one last stop in. About 3 km south of Condamine, just off the Leichhardt highway, we found Caliguel Lagoon. Another hidden gem. We dragged the pushbikes off the bed and set up camp. “What,” I hear you say, “were the …
As pleasant a spot as Charleville was it was time to leave, and our next stop was back to Roma. This time we didn’t stay at the Big Rig, but at the Roma Gun Club. Yes, you stay in the car park, but it has been set up for caravans and campers. There is …
We farewelled our new friends at Eromanga and made our way towards Quilpie, on route to Charleville. About 8km from Quilpie, we saw a sign for Baldy Top lookout and decided to take a peek. I’m pleased that we did. It is a relatively easy hike up to the top and the views…wow. Well …
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. …
