Day 22 - Thompson Development Rd, Channel Country, SWQ
Heading south west from Longreach towards Windorah and after a steady climb up the Swanvale Jumpup, we saw a sign for a lookout. It was time for a cuppa so we headed off and were rewarded with a fabulous spot for a very quiet cup of coffee.
The view of the Thompson River floodplain went on forever and not another soul within cooee. It was a long cup of coffee.
Great spot to stop and contemplate life. I wonder how far it is to the horizon. I remember on the road from Rockhampton to Longreach there was a stretch where you could see 17km in front of you without a bend.
The landscape reminds me so much of our area, but the word "cuppa" does not. I had a friend who spent a month in Perth, and the locals had great fun at her expense with words. Because she didn't know the difference, they made some up for their own amusement when she would use them later on.
