Back into Queensland

24 September

Cloudy night but we were still able to get a glimpse of the full moon.



Back onto the Barkly Highway heading east again in the morning.



The information board at Barkly Homestead described the landscape well. 464kms of it



It was windy enough without this too



We reached the Queensland border in time to have our picnic lunch at the Georgina River in Camooweal. We sat and watched the abundant bird life there, including Brolgas.



We reached Mt Isa in time to call in at the Visitors Centre before it closed and to set up camp in the Mt Isa caravan park before sunset.

Our plans for the remainder of our trip and the route we were going to take were yet again thrown into disarray as we were planning to go on the Diamentina Developmental Road to Diamentina Lakes but unfortunately the area is flooded so we are having another rethink as to which direction we go next.
