Millstream National Park

This is one of the best places we have stayed. Close by is the original homestead now used as a bit of a museum. Adjacent to this is a lovely bet of wetland with a creek and walking paths running through it.

On the first morning I hiked about 6km across open savannah  to a rise that overlooks the water course and lush wetlands and then returned via the wetland with its vast array of birdlife active in the early morning.
