Out and about in Camooweal, Queensland, Australia ( August 2015)

Colleague and friend Yvonne and I set off to explore Camooweal on our days off.

Camooweal is 188kms NW of Mt Isa, Queensland 

 

Another 12kms from Camooweal is the Northern Territory border

The countryside was very dry and windswept

Road trains were parked up and we enjoyed the photo opportunity

These trucks were loaded with cattle

We stopped at the Drovers camp where there was a museum and enjoyed looking at the old rustic artefacts.

The bird life at the billabong was prolific and there were dozens of people caravanning/ camping on the rivers edge

Brolgas

 Pelicans and a shag grooming

On the way home we spotted a wedge tail eagle and had to stop to take pictures

We put bets on the first person to see a camel....We saw the excrement and.....

The footprints.....

But these feet were from a camel Yvonne took pictures of at the Boulia races a few weeks previously

The road trains were busy hauling freight

Thanks Yvonne for a great day out!
