Snooze At Sleepy Rock

Enjoying a shady rest by a dry creek bed in the bush.

Waterhole

A cool and quiet waterhole to sit beside in the afternoon sun.

Gunpowder History

A brief history of Gunpowder, the town, in North West Queensland.

Bush Track

A long drive down a short track led to this spectacular gorge feature outside of Gunpowder.

Bush Resort

This is not the sign you expect to see in an old abandoned town in the bush. But believe me, there is indeed a pool and tennis court at old Gunpowder township.

Watch House

This is the old police watch house in Gundpowder. Not used anymore. It is the most solid timber building I've seen in quite a while.

Gunpowder State School

The old town of Gunpowder north of Mount Isa has a school. There's old classrooms in there that are no longer used. They have been converted into living quarters for miners who used to work there.

Skipping Stones

Skipping stones across Gunpowder Creek north of the Isa. Skipping stones across water reminds me of the movie Amelie.

Fire Damage

The Spinifex State College Senior Campus Library was destroyed by a fire on Saturday night. Only a fragile shell remains standing, awaiting demolition. A big thank you to the Fire Department who saved the neighbouring buildings.

Fireworks

The fireworks after the show are always a pretty sight.
