Mt Isa, Kynuna, Old Cork Homestead (via Winton), Diamantina (Channel Country)

Great to meet up with Trish and Owen - phew how amazingly busy you are!  Fun to get into work for a day or two.

Camping in Trish and Owen's backyard in Mt Isa - wonderful facilities - great fun.

Paul Hogan filmed here for Crocodile Dundee. 

Parked next to the Hema Maps Men on Safari, at Crocodile Dundee Pub.

Banjo Patterson could have been part of this family picnic, on the Diamantina Combo Waterhole which was the inspiration for Waltzing Matilda.

Our first glimpse of the mighty Diamantina.  Only waterholes this year with the lack of rain this season.

For Nerrine (well not spelt correctly is it!)

Camping on the Diamantina - Old Cork Homestead - great camp here.

Between Winton and Old Cork Homestead camping area.

Love this photo, Ian looking through the Old Cork Homestead to a working windmill.

Old Cork Homestead.  Amazing that they were building such structures way out here before 1900.

Painted Desert - well it may as well be - every colour you can think of in the sand and rock.

These jumpups were everywhere.

From Old Cork right down to Ceduna in SA we found so many wonderful flowers.  It had rained quite heavily the two weeks before we travelled and it made a spectacular display.
