On the road to Normanton taking in the Leichhardt Falls - well actually, they weren't falls, but you could see it would be a spectacular sight if the water was flowing. But it is a grand river as it is.
Got the surprise of my life when we arrived at the Burke & Wills Camp 119 which is in the middle of the Gulf Country after a 100k dirt road and a another dirt side track to find out that my Uncle Doug had donated the plaque WOW!!! To see his name was amazing.
This photo doesn't do it justice. Just imagine the water cascading over the rocks - it would be magnificant
Hope you can read the inscription on the plaque.

ReplyDeleteYour experience to see after travelling so far,
A relatives name facing you and your car.
Who made a plaque in this desert park,
The history here,shall never do part.
Another good piece of poetry ken!
