2011 DIAMANTINA NATIONAL PARK QLD

After a week in Winton we headed SW to the Diamantina National Park. It was to be a 7 day adventure. Having come into town heading north on the Jundah/Winton Road, past Lark Quarry,

G'day folks,
Pity I didn't know you were poking around up there. Would have come and said hi.
I'm just down the road at Davenport Downs. Been the gardener here for 2 years.
Love this area and good to see your photos. OzEx people always welcome to drop in and say g'day. I'll be the one pushing the mower.

Hi Dave, We went through Davenport Downs on our way south to Betoota.
We got to speak to Dale, the Head Stockman, just near Palparara. He was checkingt he number of cattle on each truck as they went through and there were a few on the road. Jack (in an earlier comment) let us know that he was one of the drivers. Further down the track we met Bobby, a musterer on bike. What a massive job the muster is.
If we get back there we will keep an eye out for you. Sorry we didn't get to meet up with you and Jack.

I received a MM from Ma (Members Pa & Ma) and she said that her Grandfather was once the manager of Diamantina Downs and other nearby properties. I hope she puts the comment up here.
