Lara Wetland 12 – 13 July 2014

Headed north from Blackall and then a 15km dirt track to a cattle property called Lara. They have a natural bore that flows into a lagoon which has created a wetland haven for birds and animals. Jo (our host) has just opened the lagoon for travellers and she was very hospitable. We camped right next to the water and then went for a swim in the bore, which was much hotter than we were used to (about50o) so we didn’t last long in it. That night we watched a full moon wriggle through the trees and rise above the water – magic. The next day we explored the property and chatted to some of the other travellers who all agreed that it was a fantastic spot to unwind and relax in a natural setting.
