Kati Thanda-Lake Eyre, South Australia, Australia, aerial photography
The view from the lookout on Mt Slocombe, located near Yaraka, Queensland. The views overlook the Yang Yang Ranges and nearby farming plains. This shot was taken at dawn just as the sun was about to break above the horizon on the other side of the lookout. I was surprised how still it was atop the mountain (or technically a jump up). Make sure you stop by this lookout and enjoy a refreshing drink with the friendly locals at the Yaraka Hoel before traveling further west into Outback Queensland. #queensland #australia
Mt Slocombe lookout offers vast views across outback Queensland and is a great spot to catch sunrise or sunset. It's just a 5min drive from the town of Yaraka where you can rest for the night at the homely pub (I can personally recommend it) before venturing further west towards Birdsville. #queensland #australia #nationalpark #goldenhour

I'm in Winton which is so far in the Aussie outback that it doesn't have a geotag! Tag in anyone you know that might be in country Queensland, I'm hosting 2 photo walks tomorrow for Queensland's "World's Biggest Instameet". :)
