There’s an oasis between the desert dunes. Have you heard of it? It’s called Boodjamulla National Park. If you find it, you’ll find peace under the shade of the trees. Out there, history literally runs beneath your fingers as they brush over the rough edges of million-year old fossils embedded in limestone.
You can dip your canoe oar and break crystalline while listening to the fairy-wrens or catching a flash of the crimson finch.
