Culgoa National Park



Sorry for so many short posts, but this is the time where the work load increases towards Christmas. Simply this- I intend to visit Culgoa National Park. The park was set up in 1996 to protect the river and the unique flood plains that stretch from Qld into NSW. Situated about 180k north east of Bourke or 120k north west of Brewarrina, This park enjoys ample bird life, semi arid conditions and with 22,000 hectares there is plenty to explore which you can literally sit under the shade of a coolibah tree!

    We don't have those coolibah trees in the UK Simon, you will have a post us a pic of you sitting underneath it.
    The weather here is more like September than November, it's very mild. But that's nothing unusual these days.
    Have a great trip.

    HEy Ellee- thanks! the weather here is 41c and we are not in summer yet. South Australia is bracing for a fire season similar to the one Victoria had....

    Hope the pressures of work ease up enough to allow you the trip soon, Simon. We have severe weather warnings out today, floods, gales and torrential rain - all ferries and flights are cancelled!

    ...a coolibah tree? Australia is indeed a land of some unique species, am I correct?

    So good that there are parks made to preserve the habitat, and that people can enjoy them. One of my favorite things in life, but one I've not availed myself and family enough to.

    (hard to post on your blog for me, now, Simon, since Blogger took my blog hostage, their robot seeing it as a possible spam blog. So that I now have a blog with WordPress.)

    Hello Simon! Greetings from the Land of the Rising Sun!

    I've always wanted to sit in the shade of a coolibar tree!
