A little difficult to see in these pictures but we went out on a 4WD track in the bush to find this Lagoon full of water lillies. We had been disappointed in previous places we had been to, but this was isolated but beautiful. Had to tramp thru long grass to get to the waters edge and I was praying there were no snakes around. It was pure croc country even though they arent in this part of Qld. it felt just like the NT. A little creepy. Was happy to discover this little gem. Not many people come out here as its off the beaten track. Visited an art gallery in town later where I saw very similar photos to what I had taken. The photographer told me he got his wife to wade into the water to her thighs to get their spectacular photos. Obviously mine werent comparable. I was too scared to even get near the edge of the water plus, his photos were taken a year or two beforehand when the lillies were thick and plentiful.

Sunset at our camp spot. The sky turned so many colours as the sun set it was crazy. Tomorrow off to Barcaldine and then the gemfields of Rubyvale, Sapphire & Emerald.
