20190518 Qld Jundah
20190518 Heading to Jundah along patches of narrow, straight roads while taken in the scenery. In the centre of the channel Country lays the little town of Jundah whose name comes from the aboriginal word for, woman.

The first hill we’ve climbed in this flat outback, actually the only one.
The view of the open planes as we cross over the top.
The long road to nowhere.
