Sitting in front of a warming campfire in the Kroombit Tops NP and drafting a blog post is somehow strange, but on the other hand, why not. 🙂 Nights are long and cold out here. Blackdown Tablelands NP was somehow a surprise. We had not so much information in advance, […]

Once again re-planning, but that seems to be normal for us. 🙂 Originally we planned to stay one night at the Santa Rosa section and two nights at Carnarvon gorge, but in the end we decided to stay two days at Santa Rosa and three at Carnarvon gorge. The Santa […]
…of Queensland and it is still absolutely amazing out here. Not so many other people and no tourists from overseas at all (beside the two of us). The days in Diamantina NP were really nice and the sunset on the last evening made it not too easy for us to […]

Leaving Lakefield NP towards Iron Range NP was not too easy; we still had a lot of bird life in the morning, so the time passed by. On top of that, every now and then it happens that you miss 100km on a map and by doing so, you don’t […]
