The Thomson and Barcoo rivers are a lifeline for our patch of the outback, providing precious water for livestock and supporting the grazing country that so many local livelihoods depend on. 🌱🐂

𝘼𝙣𝙙 𝙖𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙬𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙬𝙖𝙧𝙢𝙨 𝙪𝙥, 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙮 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙫𝙞𝙙𝙚 𝙥𝙡𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙮 𝙤𝙛 𝙛𝙪𝙣 𝙩𝙤𝙤! Think kayaking, fishing, checking the yabby pots or settling into a shady spot by the water, with a picnic packed and no hurry to head home. 🎣🛶

Along the Thomson near Jundah, fishing, yabbying and birdwatching are all part of the river experience. Over on the Barcoo, Welford National Park offers riverside camping at Little Boomerang which is a pretty special place to swap screen time for river time. 🏕️

🐢 𝗔 𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲 𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗮: waterholes along the lower Thomson become important refuges for wildlife during dry spells, including turtles.

We’re certainly not the only ones who appreciate a good waterhole!

Further downstream, the two rivers meet above Windorah to become Cooper’s Creek, continuing their journey through the Channel Country.

From keeping the stock watered to keeping the family entertained, life in the Barcoo is better with a river nearby. 💙

What’s your favourite way to spend a day by the river?
