Camping for 3 nights. Have been very busy the last few days in Mt Isa.
Finally got a photo of the Kalkadoon Grasswren. It was 12°, windy & freezing up on top of a hill. That was at midday!!
Had a night in between here & Mt Isa beside a creek crossing. Left early in the morning and was lucky enough to see 1000's of budgies flying around.
Got with in 10 meters of a Wedgie!! Now that was exciting also.
Called in at Riversleigh fossil site.
When we got to Lawn Hill we opened the door to glass everywhere..... a stone I had collected had bounced out of the basket onto the sink cover 😞😞
Looks a bit sad now!
Caught up with Graham & Christina here and am going Barking Owl hunting tonight. (Found it) 😊Read more
Travelerobviously the stone was not too keen on capture......

Couldn't stay as caravan park was full.
This little place was half the price and just great.
There were chooks, Guinea fowl, turkeys, geese, black falcons, pigs & miniature horses!! And friendly staff.

Campsites are getting a bit scarce around here due to Covid lock-downs and school holidays. We had people camp with us in our spot at Lost City on the second night, so today we headed off at the early hour of 10am 🙂 luckily we got one of the 3 remaining campspots here.Read more

Had an amazing day over at Western Lost City, well not a long time..... it took us over two hours to get in (28 ks).
Certainly worth it.
Fairly different to Southern Lost City.
Both are fabulous.

We were lucky enough to get in here for three nights. Fabulous spor but no Grasswren 😞 Six of us searched high and low for a couple of days with no luck.
Pink pool is the prettiest of the pools but has a resident crock, we swam in Black Pool & Long Pool. 37° so fairly warm to be climbing up ranges!Read more

We came over the Tuwakam Track today as the Indigenous community had the road closed on the Humbert Track (the one we had planned on going down).
It was very rocky and slow. 20 ks took about 3 hours. 1st & 2nd gear all the way.Read more
