On route from Windorah to Birdsville we stopped by the JC Hotel. It’s now 50 years since it was abandoned, and nothing much is left.

Closer to Birdsville lies the ghost town of Betoota. Nobody lives here these days. The abandoned hotel is the last remnant of what was a small outback outpost.
The strong sunlight glares back at you from the sand and rocks. This is winter - I imagine that summers can be a tad hot.
