Good pics 185. I was out in that country for the tail end of the '74 floods - working on Davenport next door to Diamantina Lakes.

Hunters Gorge up at Diamantina Lakes
I could never figure out why it was called Diamantina Lakes, when there were no apparent lakes !!!!

The property was oringinally called Diamantina Gates - reflecting the fact that the river was forced through a relatively narrow gorge at that point. Sometime way back when, the "Gates" became "Lakes" - probably after a major flood event.
