Ghost Town Alive! The small town of Betoota stands in solitude amidst a vast gibber plain.
Now deserted, it was once a busy meeting point for the pastoralists and drovers moving their mobs of cattle through customs and onto the markets of South Australia, and served as a Cobb & Co. change station. Twice a year the town bounces back to life for the Betoota Gymkhana in April and the Betoota Races on the last Saturday in August.
The Dreamtime Serpent can be viewed from a distance and represents the river systems connecting the Channel Country and was created using stone and gibbers from the region. To give you an idea of the size, spot @keiranlusk lying in the dust nearby! While in Betoota, be sure drop by @betootahotel for a cool drink, great food and a place to stay. #outbackqueensland #outbackmural #betoota #diamantina #diamantinashirecouncil #diamantinaqld #betootaserpent #dreamtime #dreamtimestories #aboriginal #aborginalart #qldparks #nationalparks #lifesbestmoments #nationalpark #outback #4wd #landscapephotography #dronephotography #dronephoto #exploremore #getoutside #fromwhereyoudratherbe #australianoutback #outbacklife #thisisqueensland #goodtogo #beautifulonedayperfectthenext #seeaustralia #holidayherethisyear
