A great view for an outback dunny on a station west of Winton.

Sunsets

The sunsets in Outback Queensland need no filters to enhance them.

Daintree

The Daintree River Ferry crossing in the tropical north of eastern Queensland leads to places I have not yet seen. The allure of the Daintree is calling me to return.

BOM Sunset

The sun sets on another day in Western Queensland. The Bureau of Meteorology weather radar is in the center of the frame.

Dinosaur Stars

Just near Winton in outback Queensland, a dinosaur once more walks the land under the ancient stars above.

Water Feature

Water features are one of my favourite type of features.  This one is in the Queensland Art Gallery in Brisbane.  Appropriately, the artworks levitating above the water are fishing nets from Indigenous groups across Australia.

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.
