Cooper Creek Windorah

We left Roma and the 40 degrees heat after 4 days and headed towards Windorah. The plan was to stop at Cooladdi, Queensland's tiniest town with population of 4. From the write-up, it seemed that there is a cool camp site near Quilberry Creek and the Foxtrap Motel is THE place to stop to have yarn with the locals while you get directions from them to the watering hole camp. We arrived, went in but was disappointed. The pub was run down, not air conditioned and the lady wasn't too friendly nor forthcoming with any information. We left and drove another couple of hours to Quilpie.

It was in Quilpie that we had our first wet night/day. It rained the whole night and was still pouring when we left. After an hour or so, we got sunshine again.

Cooper Creek Camp with T and family

 Our destination is called Cooper Creek Campground in Windorah. This is where we met a former colleague, T. We camped next to Cooper Creek and threw in our yabby net. Got our first blue yabby. Not enough for dinner but I would still call it surf & turf since we are having roast beef!

We did a 12km nature drive in Windorah with T and family. Also visited the solar farm by Ergon Energy which supplies the town of 80 people with their electric.
