Dog Fence
by Natural Wanders — last modified 2009-06-30 02:47

On the way back to Marree from Muloorina Station, we crossed the Dog Fence. The Dog Fence runs for 4,850 kilometres across the states of South Australia, New South Wales, and Queensland. Without it, dingoes would no doubt decimate sheep. It is a well-maintained fence, and is the longest man-made barrier in the world.

We spent the day whale-watching back at the Head of Bight. The whales delighted us in so many ways.

Muloorina Station is about 54km from Marree and not far from Lake Eyre South. Muloorina allows visitors to bush-camp along the banks of the Frome River, which has water in it due to the flow of a bore. It is said to have great bird life and also has an access road to Lake Eyre.

Muloorina: birdwatching
by Garry — last modified 2009-06-30 02:32

Dawn was just outside the back of our campertruck. I opened the doors, curled up under my sleeping bag, and watched the sun rise over the water of Frome River. It was peaceful and beautiful.

A Rainforest Skywalk
by Mieke Casanova — last modified 2009-06-08 02:17

Think of a Gold Coast attraction. I bet you a coffee you named one of the 5 popular theme parks such as Dreamworld? However after an unforgettable rainforest skywalk at Tamborine Mountain in the Gold Coast Hinterland, there is now a new experience to add to the list.

A Place Less Ordinary, Lightning Ridge
by Gale Collins — last modified 2009-04-19 04:02

There seems to be a buzz in the air at Lightning Ridge, an indiscernible quality that infiltrates your being and, somehow, makes you feel the way you did when you were younger and less jaded. In someway you can feel it as you draw closer to “the Ridge”, as the locals call it.

Gold Coast Theme Parks
by queensland — last modified 2009-04-09 20:46

There is more to the Gold Coast than its 42km of beautiful sandy beaches. Australia's best equipped and exciting theme parks (Movie World, Dreamworld, Wet 'n' Wild, Sea World) are also gems in the crown of the Gold Coast that makes this region Australia's most diversified holiday playground.

Lamington National Park
by queensland — last modified 2009-04-09 19:59

Situated in the Gold Coast's Hinterland next door to Springbrook NP, lies the ecological beauty of Lamington NP. Only 90 minutes drive from the Gold Coast, taking one of the walking tracks home to frogs, fungi, mammals and fauna is an excellent idea for a day trip.
