Yes, just out of town Kaid. There's a free camp right there alongside the river. It's a huge area and it was a bit of a dust bowl when I was there.
I didn't particularly find the town very GN friendly, but I did find some cousins who I haven't seen for years. And I highly recommend a feed at the Cattlemen's Bar & Grill with their famous 'big arse fan'. That's actually what they call it, because it is!
Doh! Just realised I should have posted in the 'sharing photos' section. Sorry folks.

I wasn't sure where to post this, because it's not my photo, I just wanted to share it because it's so stunning.
It's the work of Nicole Bond, and it was shared on Facebook by ABC Western Qld.
That's near Longreach isn't it Beth. Our daughter has just relocated to there. I hope we get to see a sunset as spectacular as that

I was thinking of your shot when I saw this. It's certainly spectacular.

I'm glad you posted it here Beth - I check this branch most days but I don't check the sharing photos branch *hangs head in shame*. Thanks for sharing it - it is truly spectacular.

Dazren, it'd be just my luck to get caught out.
Okay Lynda, I'm glad I posted it here then. Actually, I don't look at that section much either.

We did the Riverbelly Express River Cruise on the Thompson back in 1997 and took similar photos, but none as vivid as this one.

Great shot Beth. She'll become famous now the GNs have seen it.
