Stonehenge

While in Longreach we were talking to a lady who is a photographer and saw some of her photos of these incredible red sand dunes, turns out they were only 320kms away. Of course 320km is not much to us now so we decided to take a little side trip and to go and see these sand dunes! On the way we camped the night at a little town called Stonehenge.  We had a great chat to the lady who owns the pub there (not much else in the town). We learnt a lot about the area, the local school has only 5 kids in the whole primary school, the school captain will be captain for a few years as he is the oldest and is only in 4th class. She was also telling us that the dingo fence isn’t much help to them there, they have quite a big dingo problem there, mauling cattle and killing sheep. She also said that, unlike a lot of the rest of Queensland, cane toads have just arrived out there in the last couple of years.
