Cooper Creek bridge, Windorah district.

Windorah, known for its landmark of huge red sandhills just 10 minutes' drive out of town, is situated alongside the Cooper Creek. This creek, formed where two rivers meet, became part of Australia's lore as great Aussie poet, Banjo Paterson, referred to it in a couple of his poems, including "Clancy of the Overflow", who went "adroving down the Cooper, where the western drovers go".

While in Windorah, visit the slab hut, and if that whets your appetite for a bit of history, take a day drive to the ruins of old pubs. People who are interested in photography will find some good subjects among the relics.
