Ancient <strong>Outback</strong><br />
From the weather-worn crags of sun-drenched escarpments<br />
to the treasures buried beneath the dry bed of a long lost<br />
inland sea, <strong>Queensland</strong>’s <strong>Outback</strong> tells of a land before time.<br />
Rich in its diversity, the traces of Gondwana and 144 million<br />
years of evolution are clearly visible to the keen explorer.<br />
Scratch the surface and the bones of dinosaurs readily reveal<br />
the secrets of one such ancient epoch. Rock wall markings<br />
carry the stories of ancestral connections to the earth’s oldest<br />
surviving culture. And on a star-lit night it is simply mindblowing<br />
to look up and know this vast land is only one small<br />
part of the great glimmering cosmos above.<br />
