Day 8 - Welford National Park to Windorah From Welford, travel back across the Barcoo River Crossing along the Jundah-Quilpie Road to the Retreat. Turn right and drive for 56km on the mostly gravel Hammond Downs Road. As you near Windorah, you’ll notice the landscape starting to change. From the black soil plains and mulga country to the spinifex and sandhill ‘desert country’ this is an incredibly scenic drive. At Hammond Downs, turn right on to the Diamantina Development Road and then it’s just 17km into Windorah. You’ll know doubt be ready for a great meal, a cool ale and some great outback company. Well, you’ve come to the right place. The people of Windorah are renowned for their hospitality. Make your first port of call the Visitor Information Centre, hook up to the free wifi and reconnect with the family back home. Just 12km west of town are the Windorah Sandhills. These stunning red dunes are awesome by day, but the real magic happens as the sun goes down. So it’s a good idea to time your visit for just on sunset. And, make sure you bring supplies of BYO drinks and nibbles. This sunset will be a night to remember.
