Outback Queensland
We take you to the most iconic Australian wildlife such as the Red Kangaroo, Eastern Grey Kangaroo, Emus, Echidnas and many other reptiles ranging from venomous snakes to the shingle-backed lizard. Our motivation behind this adventure was to find the King Brown or Mulga Snake, which is one of the most iconic reptiles in Australia. It just so happens that there are many other amazing species thriving in the heat of the outback which you will get the chance to get up close with and photograph. Enjoy the movements of the stars, hear animal voices throughout the night and cast a line in some of Queensland's most iconic inland fishing locations.

Saint George
Beyond the vast flatlands of the Great Dividing Range is the rural town of St George with a population of 3,800. Located 509km from Brisbane (via Dalby) and situated around 201m above sea-level it is one of our favourite camping locations. If you would prefer to stay in the town's accomodation, this is also a great option. Either way, you will be positioned nicely to photograph the abundance birdlife including pelicans, cockatoos and eagles. If you're a fishermen, you won't be disappointed either, with St George reputed as having the best inland fishing in Queensland.
We usually venture out early in the morning to photograph birds and some reptiles. During the day you will have plenty of opportunities to see the kangaroos and emus. This is also a great opportunity to kick back, relax and save your energy for a night of driving and spotlighting. At night you may see echidnas, frogs, geckoes and if you're lucky venomous snakes such as the Mulga Snake.
Currawinya National Park
Currawinya National Park is genuine outback, made up of semi-desert, yet encompasses a great variety of watered areas. It is also home to several endangered species including the painted honeyeater, Australia’s red- throated and painted snipes, as well as the Major Mitchell cockatoo. We camp by the Paroo River, which is lined with eucalypts that teem with birds when they are in flower. Two huge lakes Lake Wyara and Lake Numalla, are important water-breeding sites for birds.
The outcrop at the Granites, consists of granite dating from 230 and 310 million years ago, is a fantastic natural landmark to visit. We tend not to see many native mammals other than kangaroos (and sometimes echidnas) but there are emus in abundance, many other birds (brolgas, waterbirds, parrots, honeyeaters, woodswallows) and a number of reptiles.
