Ancient Outback
From the weather-worn crags of sun-drenched escarpments to the treasures buried beneath the dry bed of a long lost inland sea, Queensland’s Outback tells of a land before time.
|
Rich in its diversity, the traces of Gondwana and 144 million years of evolution are clearly visible to the keen explorer. Scratch the surface and the bones of dinosaurs readily reveal the secrets of one such ancient epoch. Rock wall markings carry the stories of ancestral connections to the earth’s oldest surviving culture. And on a star-lit night it is simply mindblowing to look up and know this vast land is only one small part of the great glimmering cosmos above. |
