Central Western Queensland

Life in central western Queensland is a wonderful blend of cultures - roo shooters and dingo bounty hunters live alongside gentle graziers in a vast flatland.  At the moment, the area is bright green from recent flooding rains.  The rivers are overflowing, the lakes abundant with water, fish and folks.  Here, at Lake Dunn, the water is murky from the rains, but the place is "teeming" with visitors who live in small tin sheds on the lake's edge.  For a few dollars, you can rent a place from the local council and spend a lovely time at the "Stagger Inn", or at other places - such as "It must be five o'clock somewhere".  There is a lot of alcohol consumed in this region - beer, rum and vodka are the choice of the locals.  Strangely, there is a healing circle in this area - one of seven in the world - atop a plateau - modestly signed to show the other six sites in the world where spiritual healing places are located.
