By Louise Southerden
Winning entry for 2006 ASTW Travel Writer of the Year – Responsible Tourism.

How, we wondered, could Australia’s largest island national park be so invisible from the mainland?

MUTTON FALLS NOT MUCH CHOP FOR BUSHRANGERS

David Ellis

IT’s called Mutton Falls but there’s not a woolly jumper within a sheep-dog’s bark, and the closest thing to a cascade is your morning shower.

Way out West in Queensland’s cotton-belt
