We left Longreach for Ilfracombe some 27km to the east. We took most of the day and drove 250km because we went via Lily Lagoon and Starlight’s Lookout. The lagoon was so peaceful with only the sound of the breeze and the birds. Too bad it is not commutable.
We were not always sure if we had strayed off the main road but the odd road sign was reassuring.
We had lunch at Starlights Lookout. The view round 360 degrees was phenomenal. It was easy to understand why Harry Redford (aka Starlight in Rolf Boldrewood's classic novel 'Robbery Under Arms' ) selected this vantage point. Photos could not do it justice. There is an interesting article about Starlight at http://www.westprint.com.au/Articles%20&%20Stories/Captian%20Starlight.htm
