Lochern National Park, Jundah, Coopers Creek. QLD.

August 2025.

Lochern National Park – WOW!. It is located in the Longreach region approximately 1050klm west of Brisbane (QLD), it is sprawled over 24, 300 hectares & has numerous channels of the Thompson River running through it. We camped up in the Broadwataer camping area on the Thompson River, actually caught a couple redclaw but released them. Drove through the town of Jundah – they were immersed in flood waters earlier this year – another WOW! -to see where the flood waters have been, very scary.

Camped up at Coopers Creek which is located in QLD & SA. It is a major river system that flows into the Lake Eyre basin in Central Australia, the creek is known for its connection to the Burke & Wills expedition & for being a significant waterway in the Channel Country region. The Thompson & Barcoo Rivers are the 2 main tributaries & merge into the Cooper Creek up stream of Windorah, QLD. Its an awesome camp spot with camping available on both side of the creek & there are lotz of pelicans.
