This morning, we farewell South Australia as we turn east towards outback Queensland.  Crossing the Cooper Creek, we head into remote Channel Country, a vast network of interconnected channels and floodplains formed by rivers like the Cooper Creek, Diamantina River and Georgina River.

This landscape forms part of the Lake Eyre Basin, and is one of the largest internal drainage systems in the world.  The land is mostly flat, arid and semi-arid, but during floods it transforms into a lush wetland.

Passing through Eromanga, we arrive at our destination late afternoon. Toogunna Plains is a 5th generation family-owned 130,000-acre sheep and cattle property, and our exclusive home for the next two nights.

This afternoon we take in the unique outback landscape in an incredible Sunset at Sandhills tour with cheese platters and drinks.
We then return to the property for dinner under the stars and around the campfire. Meals: B.L.D

Continue north through Queensland’s Channel Country, where you’ll witness evidence of a series of ancient flood plains within the outback arid landscape. Passing the towns of Bedourie and Boulia, the latter being known as the capital of the Channel Country and our next port of call.
