CENTRAL WEST QLD

 From Biloela we headed further north west stopping at some beaut camp sites, small lonely one pub towns, Baralaba, Blackwater surrounds, and then moved on to Emerald.

 Baralaba Hotel

 

 Road to Bedford Weir outside Blackwater

 

Blackdown Tableland

Lorikeets a plenty at Emerald.

 

Leaving Emerald, Drummond Range on the way to Jericho.

One of many cemeteries on side of road.

 

 

 Taking a walk besides the river at Jericho.

 

 

Here's one for the "true believers". The "Tree of Knowledge" at Barcaldine. What a monument this is.

 

Barcaldine was a top town and we enjoyed our stay here. 

 3 pubs in main street.

 

Town centre with workers museum behind clock tower.

 

Headed out to Aramac for a drive. Very dry, road kill everywhere.

 Camped at Barcaldine Showgrounds. Emus decided to join us at breakfast, so too the thirsty cockatoo.

Leaving for Longreach  and surrounds tomorrow. Although it is dry and dusty in these parts, we are loving it at this time of the year.
