Very friendly and helpful greeting when booking in. Cabin was clean and tidy, although a bit on the cosy side for one supposed to accommodate a family. Would stay here again, not a problem.

This poor old tree, once a glorious ghost gum, stands at the birthplace of the Australian Labor Party. It was first sick and then poisoned in the 90s in an act of vandalism. This memorial was built around it and all the long timbers above it form a huge wooden wind chime. I love the sound of it in a breeze. Barcaldine is a typical Queensland town, pub on every corner and excellent old school local bakeries :) I feel at home somewhere like this.

The view from the lookout on Mt Slocombe, located near Yaraka, Queensland. The views overlook the Yang Yang Ranges and nearby farming plains. This shot was taken at dawn just as the sun was about to break above the horizon on the other side of the lookout. I was surprised how still it was atop the mountain (or technically a jump up). Make sure you stop by this lookout and enjoy a refreshing drink with the friendly locals at the Yaraka Hoel before traveling further west into Outback Queensland. #queensland #australia
