Many Green Budgies provided morning entertainment frolicking in one of the local gum trees. We saw a white faced heron too & plenty of pink & grey Galahs.
Driving in, the park looked really barren, but the campsite was next to a creek flanked by river gums. Lovely; also breezy which was nice. A man told us that recent rain had filled the creek which brought a huge variety of birds to the area. We could have stayed longer here as there was an old homestead and an interesting gorge to visit. Next time.
This visit we left for Longreach and spent a couple of hours in the Stockmans hall of fame. Pastoral history; very well set out and interesting, especially as we had visited a lot of the places.
We still had time to drive to Lara Station Wetlands, a cattle property with hot mineral pools filling a spa pool and providing a very special habitat for birds.
Barcaldine en-route was pretty quiet and closed for Sunday but worth a visit tomorrow. Looking forward to a camp fire and lots of birds.
