The Great : Kenneth and the community at Grawin. We could not expect a happier ending to our outback adventures in Australia. Ken showed us his private mine and even allowed us to mine opal. This was a unique experience.
The Hidden : Carnavon Gorge. The gorge is on the inland road from Cairns to Sydney, which means the gorge does not see much traffic. Tourists don’t know what they are missing for the gorge has a beautiful rainforest and great walks. Carnavon Gorge deserves much more attention.
The Overrated : Abercrombie cave. What is boasted as the biggest limestone cave in the southern hemisphere is a bit underwhelming. The walk inside the cave is short and many of the side walks that allow the visitor to explore remote parts of the cave were closed. At 15$ per person, Ania and I felt a bit shortchanged.
The Ugly : Roads in inland Queensland are a public danger. There are massive unmarked potholes pretty much everywhere. I had to dodge several potholes that would have pretty much wrecked our rental car. Once we crossed into New South Wales, the contrast was immediate. Queensland, fix up your roads!
