Surprised and Stunned!

Camooweal brings back memories from our trips over 30 years ago – bad ones! Locking doors to rooms at night – creepy shifty men at reception desks! So when friends last year friends suggested, that Camooweal Billabong was a place that we would enjoy , we just laughed and told some stories.

They were right! The Billabong is a magnificent waterway alongside the famous Georgina River, teeming with bird life. We saw Brolga’s, Egrets, white breasted Herons, the Rainbow bee eater, whistling kites and so many more that we were unable to identify.

Yes, it was hot -35! We took time selecting a spot that would provide some shade as the sun slowly set. Sitting on the bank under the shade of old coolabah trees we had a beer or two and just watched the birds do their thing. A wonderful day.
