RE: Dry Creek Bed - Southern Queensland Outback, Australia.
This is way inland, near Cunnamulla. About 2500 miles from Cairns. It's part of the Country even most Aussies don't see.

Thanks for info - just checked on google earth. We were in Red Centre for a few days. Surprised when we told Aussies our plans or where we'd been that not many seem to have traveled much in-country, but lots had traveled abroad. Is that typical?
Yes, thats typical. I think the same is true in the US too. I was travelling around all the National Parks there in the West, and heard that not many US citizens go there either. Maybe thats changed now.
I'm from Canada, and now that I think of it you're right, same here too. I guess I'm a traveler and most people I associate with are too.
By the way we drove from Adelaide to Cairns and most Aussies thought we were crazy, but we like to see things and meet people, and that's hard to do from 30,000 feet! Took 32 days to do it - same distance from our home return trip to a friend's winter place in Florida, and we do that in 6 days total on the interstates, so long distances don't bother us. Enjoy the day!
Well done, more people should do that. It's really the best way to see the Country.
Hope to do a series about our trip (Tahiti-Oz-NZ) but not ready to start yet, hopefully in a few weeks. Mostly photos with captions, because I'm doing Portugal series now and it's time-consuming to write a story with only a few photos.
