An Outback Story
This stalwart exhibit of the Queensland Museum has been on display since I remember first visiting the museum at Southbank many years ago. I always marvelled at the huge dinosaur and the giant footprints stuck in the mud on the wall. Then one day, I grew up a bit more and made the drive to Winton in the early 2000's and saw the real footprints in the rock for myself. It was amazing. And now when I return to the museum I still remember the mystique the footprints inspired. Museums are way cool, every child should visit them.

Flow
The flowing water and traffic of the Brisbane CBD. The river is criss-crossed by bridges of all sorts, from tensegrity to arch.

Tufa
An interesting formation of limestone called tufa. The limestone rich waters carry sediments that build up slowly over time to make these intricate formations. The rock that builds up like this is called tufa.

Indarri Falls
A small waterfall section on Lawn Hill Creek known as Indarri Falls. This is well worth the walk and or paddle up the gorge for a cool swim.

Upper Gorge
The main gorge at Lawn Hill. If you look closely you will spot the little freshwater crocodile seen in yesterday's post.

Wild Walk
The best kind of cliff edges in my opinion. This is on the long walk to the upper gorge at Lawn Hill.
