Wow, it is quite amazing to be way out in an isolated area.
Diamantina National Parks used to receive 5 visitors A YEAR about 15 years ago and now 5 -10 cars per day in the busy season! | |
| Some of the best flowers ever on this trip |
 |
| Gum Hole Camping Ground on the Diamantina Water Hole, Diamantina National Park - very isolated areas. |
 |
| More of Gum Hole Camping Area views - a large ginger and white feral cat came out opposite our camp and sunned himself each morning. Not Good. |

| Gum Hole |
 |
| Leaving Gum Hole, cattle everywhere - most where very friendly. |
 |
| Lots of Lonely grave sites |
 |
| On a clear day you can see forever - I said to Ian - look out there, its probably where we will be camping!! See the spar pic for where we ended up. |
 |
| Robyn enjoying the very hot spa bath - Artesian waters at Bedourie. Amazing what some little towns will do and all free too. Just loved this. Wish I could stay forever! |
 |
| Swimming pool complex at Bedourie, right next to the FREE camping ground. |

| Cobb and Co hut in Bedourie |
 |
| Getting into Birdsville -very historical town. |
 |
| Camped next to the lagoon in Birdsville Caravan Park |
 |
| One of Kidman's stations - opened in 1903 |
 |
| Kidman owned this house - the Government took the roof for the war effort! |
 |
| Birdsville Lagoon again |

 |
| Very interesting watching the population change at the Birdsville Caravan Park - either going to the Simpson desert or arriving back from the adventure. Watching the camping setups, the car packing and or fixing. |
 |
| Waddi Trees are very rare and very tough. Only three known stands in Australia. |
