Spring has Sprung!

Just how beautiful are the wild flowers in western Queensland this month? With a background setting of the fresh water that lies on the landscape, the countryside is simply spectacular.

Check out and admire this! And consider venturing out to our Western areas and admire it for yourself in person!

Sunny Days have Returned!

Welcome to Western Queensland, beautiful glorious sunshine.

Wet, Cold & Delightful !

Wet and cold again across the Channel Country. There are many bus tours, families and grey nomads having to revise travel plans due to road closures. The ground is delightfully soggy and green. The wildflowers are blooming - even the trees are sprouting flowers.

What a privilege it is to live through such a magnificent season.

No Racing, No Passable Roads

For the first time in the history of the Birdsville Races, the event has been cancelled by rain. Not only is the track too wet to race on, however the roads are also impassable. This means there are almost 5000 people stranded there......although those with commitments elsewhere are busily organising charter planes to get home. Yep - this is the road to Bedourie in normal dry times. And this is the road many are waiting for to dry out - along with the other roads that lead from Birdsville.

And They Racing...................!

The town of Birdsville is currently welcoming many visitors who are arriving for the annual Birdsville Race meeting. These visitors come from all over Australia, as well as from overseas, and include a large field of horses. The many horse yards build down on the Diamantina River will not only be filled with horses, however also will be surrounded by the trainers, owners, strappers and jockeys who camp in this picturesque spot.
