Small Stream, Mighty River

It is said that even the mightiest river begins with the smallest stream. A fact you can see here near the start of the Brisbane River at Camp Duckadang near Linville in South-East Queensland.

Thomson River

The Thomson River in Longreach from the old highway bridge.

Brisbane River View

A visit to Brisbane to catch up with some old friends brought me to my favourite public transport method, the CityCat Ferry.

Waterhole

A waterhole on the East Leichhardt River.

Downstream

Looking downstream from the source of the East Leichhardt River.

The Source

Looking upstream to the source of the East Leichhardt.

River Tree

An old tree in the East Leichhardt River that is large enough to find the water deep underground even in the dry times.

Defender Search

We went in search of the source of the East Leichhardt River on bike and by Defender. We drove as far as we could and came to this impassable spot. A little dry, but still some water was available.

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.

Cascade Motion

A small cascade at a waterhole on the East Leichhardt River near Mount Isa.

Snowmobile

When walking on a crust of frozen water on top of a river and a snowmobile zooms past, one becomes acutely aware that this country town is different to one's familiar desert home.

Georgina Morning

Morning campsite on the Georgina River in Camooweal.

Hefty

Now that's a hefty penalty for catching fish.

Gregory Canoe Race

Sunday morning was the start of the annual Gregory Canoe Race. I went along to check it out. This was the first small rapid about 20 meters after the start line.

Flow

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

East Leichhardt Waterhole

A quiet waterhole on the East Leichhardt River.  On another note, this is the 1000'th post since I started this blog nearly five years ago.  Outback Rover's 5'th birthday is coming up soon too.

A Paddling

Taking a quiet paddle down the Noosa River before the real rains came along.

Trawler

From the east wall at the entrance to the Mooloolah River at Mooloolaba you can see many boats come and go.
