SW Qld ... Bedourie

Our eastward journey finished at Boulia & then we headed south to Bedourie, 1600km west of Brisbane & 200km north of Birdsville, the next stop on our desert track journey.

This is Channel Country in SW Qld. Diamantina Shire. Diamantina & Georgina rivers. Good cattle country but hard to believe that when you see the scrubby looking country as you are driving through it. Plenty of wildflowers to keep me busy with the camera. Also one of the few Bilby areas left in the country... but we didn't see any!

Camped almost on the side of the road in the town's "caravan park" & enjoyed a meal & a few stories with 2 fellow travellers at the Simpson Desert Oasis "restaurant" across the road.
