Introducing The Channel Country

It is tough country out in the remote and sparsely populated southwestern corner of Queensland, which borders the NT, South Australia (SA) and NSW. Rain hardly ever blesses this unforgiving area that takes its name from the myriad of channels crisscrossing it, but water from the summer monsoons further north pours in along the Georgina, Hamilton and Diamantina Rivers and Cooper Creek. The summer heat is unbearable, so a visit is best made in winter (May to September).
