Discovering Outback Queensland: Camooweal to Emerald

We crossed the border into our home state of Queensland after leaving Tennant Creek in the Northern Territory. The countryside was stark and barren with wide expanses of flat plains with little vegetation and a roadside that was littered with dead Kangaroos. Discovering Outback Queensland was a revelation. We found it to be largely affected…

Through the Centre: Larrimah to Tennant Creek

Departing from the tropical ‘top end’ of The Territory we headed south on the Stuart Highway, also known as Explorer’s Way, through the centre of Australia. The landscape suddenly transformed from lush greens to red dirt and vast shrubby plains to rocky Spinifex covered tablelands. We soon realized that we were in the real ‘dinky die’ outback…
