Quilpie at last!

Our final leg of the KoolKat Western Workshop Tour was Quilpie - our first visit to this lively quilting community.  Whilst there, we took in the sights and visited Baldy Top, did the Bulloo River Walk and drove out to Lake Houdraman.
 
Spas, Channel Country Caravan Park


Galvanised iron clad dwelling




Former hotel, now accommodation only


Plentiful use made of artesian water, the only way to grow a lawn.


Corn beef, white sauce and damper cakes

Mobile services a common feature in outback towns


Opal altar, St Finbarr's chruch


Bulloo River





Lake Houdraman







Quilpie is the end of the line.  When the rail reached Quilpie instead of Adavale, Quilpie grew and Adavale declined.
