What an awesome place but a fair old way from civilisation, that however is one of many reasons for its great appeal. For those not in the know Adels Grove is located in North West Queensland. It is about 340 k’s NW of Mt Isa and about 160 k’s SW of Burketown, the Northern Territory border is maybe 80 k’s to the West. See www.adelsgrove.com.au ... read more

I commenced my journey in March 2012 planning to work and travel around Australia - the greatest country in the World. I hope you enjoy my stories and because of my love of photography I will have plenty of photos for your viewing pleasure. This is something I hope to do for a long time. Your ideas or opinions are most welcome and if perhaps you are considering visiting some of the places I have been I would be happy to help with any tips etc. All you need do is ask. Safe travels and enjoy the journey - both yours and mine. Of course I would be particularly delighted if you were to start... full info

Thanks.
Oh wow how interesting. Gee it must have been a tough old existence for them but by all accounts they had a busy little community happening out there. I worked at Adels Grove and did the Riversleigh Fossil Field tours so drove by regularly. Part of the tour involved explaining to guests on the bus about the history and goings on in the area including your Great Grandparents involvement. Thank you so much for letting me know. Take care and all the best to you, Bernie
