As you come in over the Land Bridge into Cunnamulla, there is a beautiful leafy green park. There iare swings, picnic tables, gym equipment and lots of space to exercise.
If you travellers go right through the park, they end up at the information centre. It offers complimentary coffee; inside the info centre is an art gallery and a historic museum. Travellers can also charge their devices and buy memorabilia. Do drop in it is worth the visit.
I went back out to the Allan Tannock Weir today to experiment with the panoramic function on my new camera. I think it works well, but I also need to learn a lot more about using the images on products. I love the weir, and I regard the trees along the river as sculptures. I will spend the weekend on the Warrego. I intend to pay for the whole weekend at the Hot Springs with the kayak on the bank below. At the moment, the Hot Springs is only open from 6-9am and then 5-9, so I will sit on the bank and do writing, painting and other work in the middle of the day.
There is a jetty like this at the Weir and then another just down from the Hot Springs. They are like a launching pad into a world of serenity. If you look to the left you can see a dip where we drop our kayaks into the water.
Every weekend, as I go out on the kayak, I intend to do a ‘portrait’ of a different tree. They all stand majestic and tall OR weather-beaten and driftwooded by the rise and fall of the water level. Sometimes at work, I drift off to my ‘creative space’ – thinking about what lies in store in the afternoon twilight.
One of the most beautiful spots in the outback, the weir provides countless hours of fun and recreation.
The Allan Tannock Weir is part of an original stock route and was formerly known as Keane’s Crossing. Situated 5 km south of Cunnamulla, the Weir is on the Warrego River. There are many old tree stumps still standing like sculpted driftwood along the edges of the river banks. This gracefulness reflected on the water in the afternoons creates a relaxing ambience.
The images were captured on a 15 Max Pro – they look great on iPhone cases and other digital products. On Zazzle, you can acquire other kinds of memorabilia – shot glasses, glasses and beer steins.
On the Warrego River, there is a bridge at the entrance of Cunnamulla from Thargomindah. There is a walkway along the river going up to the Hot Springs. It is a great place to pull up when entering the town. There are shade trees and sandstone seats. Under the bridge, there is a space where you can enter the water with your kayak.
The river is an excellent space for fishing and motor boating activities. Cunnamulla is just a small town out here in the outback, but it has a lot to offer. Stay tuned to find out more.
