Barcaldine to Muttaburra via Lake Dunn

Emerald, Queensland

Day 3: Today calls for an early start – you’re off to Bushranger country! Travel to Aramac and learn the story of how the sale of one white bull led to the capture of Bushranger Harry Redford, also known as Captain Starlight. Visit Captain Starlight’s Folly, Harry Redford Community Centre and the Tramway Museum for a flashback to yesteryear. Pick up the makings of a country picnic, then follow the Sculpture Trail to Lake Dunn – a freshwater lake 68 kilometres northeast of Aramac. Along the way, you’ll pass over 20 uniquely crafted sculptures of all shapes and sizes, created using scrap metal and barbed wire. Keep your eyes peeled for local wildlife including echidnas, brolgas and emus too. At Lake Dunn, spend the afternoon enjoying the shoreline, catching Golden Perch or Black Bream, swimming or bird watching. Allow plenty of daylight for the one-hour drive to Muttaburra for your overnight stay.
