Camooweal Billabong: Tranquility on the Outback’s Edge
Camooweal Billabong offered us a peaceful retreat on the Queensland-Northern Territory border. After some days of fairly hectic driving through outback Queensland, we were ready for a slower pace, and this spot delivered.
We set up camp by the water’s edge, where the billabong stretched out in a serene, shimmering expanse. It felt like stepping into another world—quiet, calm, and completely in tune with nature. Birds were everywhere. Pelicans and black swans glided across the water, while flocks of smaller birds flitted through the reeds. We even spotted a few brolgas strutting gracefully nearby.
The sunsets were a highlight. Each evening, we watched the sky transform into a painting of deep oranges, pinks, and purples, reflecting perfectly on the still water. It was the kind of view that made us stop and savour the moment.
We spent our days exploring the area on foot, following narrow tracks that wound through the bush and along the billabong. The stillness out here is incredible—just the rustle of leaves and the occasional splash of a fish breaking the surface.
Camooweal Billabong gave us a chance to recharge. It reminded us why we love exploring Australia’s remote corners. Out here, time slows down, and nature takes the lead. It’s a little slice of outback paradise we won’t soon forget.
