Robert O’Hara Burke’s original gravesite is near the town of Innaminka in North East South Australia. Such a sad site, but the country along Burke’s Waterhole and Cooper Creek was amazing. The area abounds with flora and fauna – beautiful old red river gums (kings of the creek), coolabah trees, and loads of birds, including pelicans and blue herons. A good overview of the ill fated Burke and Wills expedition can be found here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burke_and_Wills_expedition…

Join us as we stroll along the Bulloo River in Thargomindah, Queensland, Australia.  The Bulloo River Walk starts at the Explorers Caravan Park and heads toward Pelican Point before winding further along the Bulloo River on the edge of town.  If you are travelling through Thargomindah, check it out.  Other walks in town are the Heritage Walk and Hydro Walk – we didn’t do these walks as our little old dog Buddy had done enough…
