Magical Moments - A Favourite Sandhill Where Bearded Dragons and the Western Rivers Carer Can Be Found.

I have a place I love to go to alone or to share with others. It was many years ago that I discovered this sandhill, and I am fortunate to visit this favourite spot at least once each year. This sandhill is located west of Windorah (Queensland) and my favourite time to visit is just prior to sunset if you wish to have an authentic outback experience. Sit back, and I shall take you to this sandhill where Bearded Dragons and the Western Rivers Carer likes to congregate.

“Red sandhills emerge majestically from the stark countryside of south-west Queensland. Imagine climbing a sandhill prior to sunset and sitting and watching Mother Nature put on her dusk light show. To wiggle your toes in the smooth clean outback sand; to listen to the absolute silence that is only punctuated by a random bird call as they wing their way back to the desert shrub they call home; to sniff the clean, dry air; to take in the 360 degree vista of the sunset in front of you and the falling darkness behind you is one of life’s most magical moments – and one that makes Outback Queensland a special place to Bearded Dragons and Western Rivers Carers”.

Bearded Dragons are commonly found in Western Queensland, and many old timers say that when you see a bearded dragon walking along with their heads and tails raised, this could be an indicator of rain. I liken this upward curved stance and body position to a smile – and as we all know, rain brings smiles to the faces of all who live and work on the land. In the last few days, there have been some wonderful falls of rain in isolated patches. May those proud bearded dragons keep smiling and walking with a curved up tail and head!!
