Overland way

Onwards to Newcastle Waters, another station stay
Then Berkeley Homestead along the Overland Way.
Transversing the ‘Overland’ was precisely just that
Endless kilometres of barren land that’s totally flat.

Crossing back into Queensland stopping at Mt. Isa
The ’Hard Times’ Tour gave us a little appertizer
About the abundant mineral deposits underground
Lead, silver, copper & zinc continually being found.

Drove out to Lake Moondarra to see the day’s end
A few hours entertained by peacocks we did spend.
Diverted in search of an old disused Uranium mine
A challenging 4 wheel drive track with barely a sign.

Rock edges steep down to the dam, Mary Kathleen
It’s beautiful waters an unusual shade of blue / green.
Driving through Cloncurry for our stay at Julia Creek
At a caravan park that also provides a special treat.

To experience sunset submerged in an outdoor bath
A rain tank design for privacy which gave us a laugh.
Plus nibbles platter, bubbles of soap & champagne
Relaxed observing the darkening, pink hued plain.Læs mere
