About half way between Cloncurry and Winton, we saw a turnoff to Combo Waterhole and it being time for a cuppa and thinking there may be some interesting birdlife there, in we went.
As we were making the turn, I said to Rhoda that for some reason, Combo Waterhole sounded vaguely familiar but I couldn't remember why.
Any of you Aussies know what it is famous for?
That night I looked it up and da dahhh!!! It was the waterhole that inspired Banjo Patterson to write Waltzing Matilda. There should be huge signs up in lights. Although if I had written a song about the waterhole after our visit, it would have been all about the flies and not about a stupid wandering sheep. They were horrendous. We even got out the nets we used in Kings Canyon so we could have some peace. Made it a bit difficult drinking our coffee. though.
Great story and lovely capture Terry, you would have kick yourselves if you drove by and checked it out on the internet later, every days a schoolday on 365project:)
