October 26, 2011 Red Nomad OZ Red Alert

Last Updated on March 20, 2019 by Red Nomad OZ Developing ‘My FavouRED OZ Things’ was ALMOST as much fun as finding a new OZ Scenic Public Toilet!! So much fun, I didn’t stop at one … and ‘My FavouRED OZ Things #2’ became an entertaining (for me!) way of fulfilling my guest post promise on Jim’s wonderfully diverse travel blog ‘Holes in my[…]

Last Updated on February 23, 2021 by Red Nomad OZ Don’t let the stone lion fool you. We’re not at a garage sale of ‘Chronicles of Narnia’ props. And don’t be fooled into thinking the building behind the lion is a gatehouse. Oh no! It’s an Outback Outhouse. Or so it was described by the waitress at surreal Art Through Da[…]

Last Updated on February 17, 2021 by Red Nomad OZ With an official population of two, tiny Toompine is barely a blip on the radar! And yet, all roads seem to lead there in the western Queensland Outback. A simple distance measurement between the outback towns of Eulo, Thargomindah and Quilpie yields Toompine’s coordinates almost exactly. Is that enough reason[…]

Under the Canopy - Tree of Knowledge, Barcaldine

October 3, 2011 Red Nomad OZ Aussie Icons, Australiana, Barcaldine, Outback, Queensland, Things to do, Travel

Last Updated on August 18, 2019 by Red Nomad OZ When the 200-year-old Tree of Knowledge was poisoned shortly after being included on the National Heritage List on Australia Day 2006, I was appalled. Yet another historic Aussie landmark fallen victim to the disregard sometimes shown for our heritage. But although the tree’s demise was disappointing, I was also resigned[…]
