Boodjamulla (Lawn Hill) National Park a tropical oasis in the QLD Gulf

Boodjamulla National Park (formally known as Lawn Hill) is definitely a surprising contrast to the vast expanses of flat dry plains that surrounds it.  Its bright emerald green waters and banks lined with lush pandanus and Livistonia Palms makes it a real oasis in the central gulf region of the QLD outback!

Savannah Way Part 1 - Butterfly Springs and Lorella Springs Station

The Savannah Way stretches across the whole north of Australia from Broome in the West to Cairns in the East. Most of it is bitumen  but as we seem to have some strange attraction to the rough stuff we hopped on the off road (1200km) section from Mataranka in the Northern Territory to Karumba in the Queensland Gulf.
