the mythical
Rainbow

'The
Dot'
This 1930s
goldmine
can still
be seen
in its original
form; solar
panels enable
the shaft
to be lit
for nightly

the starlight
sky makes
a perfect
backdrop
for a campfire,bush
yarns and
billy tea.
'Bush Tucker' tours are
operated
by the women
of the Mungar
Mungar tribe,
who escort
visitors
on a hunt
for traditional
food and
medicine.
