25.01.2022 Nestled against the Dawson River, the Neville Hewitt Weir is the place to throw a line, sit back and get ready for that tell-tale tug on the hook. Located in Ba...ralaba in Sandstone Wonders, Queensland, Australia it's also the perfect spot for camping, boating and picnic BBQ's.

24.01.2022 We nipped into the beautiful Sandstone Wonders, Queensland, Australia once again, following the advice of numerous fellow travellers who've tut-tutted when they...'ve learnt that we'd never stayed at their favourite spot - Neville Hewitt Weir on the edge of the welcoming little town of Baralaba Qld. Shortfalling remedied! We scored a top spot right beside the park, which is next to the Dawson River. Yep, we now get why this is much loved by so many seasoned travellers. It's quiet, spacious and flat, with flushing toilets, a $1 shower, big grassy area, BBQs, picnic shelters and boat ramp. There's a big blue shelter under which campers and their dogs gather for (socially distanced) happy hour. Your choice - sunny spots or shady. There's birdlife and the cutest little juvenile echidna even wandered through our campsite to say 'Welcome!'. Well worth a decent donation at this well maintained 'Council Free-stay' with the site managed by the Baralaba Progress Association and funds going towards town improvements. The Grey Nomad Awards recognise private and permit campsites, Councils, tourism and attraction operators and caravan parks that provide exemplary experiences for mature-age travellers. 2020 Awards are open. Winners announced during the next Art of Attraction Tourism Summit, in March 2021. www.greynomadawards.com.au #greynomadawards #greynomads #ontheroad #regionaltourism #regionalaustralia #seeaustraliafirst #vanlife #camper #motorhoming #caravanning #pubstay #countrypub #farmstay #caravanpark #stationstay #awards #tourism #AOA21 #aussieadventures #exploreaustralia #vanlife #travellingaustralia #seeaustralia #wonderoutyonder

24.01.2022 Ode to working dogs... Epic mural of Meg the Kelpie from Dawsonriver Kelpies, a mob of dogs that are jokingly referred to as the full-time employees of Burrawar...ra, a cattle property near Moura in the picturesque Sandstone Wonders, Queensland, Australia. The mural, by the Zookeeper, covers the western wall of the Dawson Highway Cafe and Indian Cuisine. Location: Dawson Highway, Moura (closest cross street is Young St) The Australian Street Art Awards is a "Tourism Awards for Public Art" program, with 10 categories recognising destinations that use publicly-accessible art in all its many forms to attract and entertain visitors. 2020 nominations open in August and winners will be announced at the Art of Attraction Tourism Summit in March 2021. www.streetartawards.com.au Photos by Australian Street Art Awards. #ausstreetartawards #australianstreetart #streetart #publicart #mural #sculpture #artfestival #regionalart #regionaltourism #travelaus #seeaustraliafirst #travellingaustralia #muralpainting #siloart #siloarttrail #paintedsilos #sculpturegarden #streetarttrail #urbanwalls #urbanart #streetartistry #streetartist #urbanartist #muralsdaily #streetart_daily #murals #AOA21

16.01.2022 THREE-CHAIN ROAD CLOSURE PUBLIC ACCESS The Moura Police have recently received an increased number of reports regarding vehicles unlawfully trespassing on Thr...ee Chain Road which is currently still under development. Information received is that vehicles are purposely evading ‘ROAD CLOSED’ signs to access the road and the new look out that is nearing completion. Whilst the convenience of the road and appeal to check out the new look out are enticing to some, a $186 fine and 3 point demerit is a hefty price to pay for disobeying a No entry sign. See more

01.01.2022 If you are passing through Moura and want to see the sights, then this stop is a must. A blasting mishap closed the viewing platform a few years ago but lots of... hard work has finally paid off and the platform has a new home. The platform allows you to have a birdseye view of the busy pit. You can even catch a view of a dragline as it moves tonnes of dirt. Along the way, stop and visit the Moura No.2 Memorial which honors the 11 men who lost their lives in the tragedy on the 7th August, 1994. #wercruisinoz #travellingaustraliawithkidsbudget #travellingaustralia #travelaustralia #travellingaustraliawithkids #mouraqueensland #threechainroad #moura #dawsonviewingplatform #dawsonmine #mouraviewingplatform #mouramemorial2
