This is a rather large town, built around the discovery of Gold. There are some stunning buildings to look at and look thru but they are mostly on the main drag and almost impossible to take photos of without people and cars in the picture. We arrived on the Sunday, intent on doing some grocery shopping and then heading out to our camp spot. Well it was Sunday and NOTHING is open. Not even Woollies. The Burdekin River was our campspot. This river has a usual depth of around 13M, way back some years ago it rose to 22M an unbeleivable volume of water. As you can see its pretty much dry now until the next wet season. We have seen the destruction this flooded river can cause when we travelled up to Qld in early 2013. Had a good look around, took a CD Tour of the touristy stuff and then decided to head off to a tiny town called Ravenswood. Another old gold mining town, heritage listed.
