Barrow Creek was 3 kilometres south-west of the collapsed channel that connected the two worlds. 320 kilometres to the north of it, one would reach Warburton. 320 km was not a short distance and in Australia, there would be nothing but sparse desert that connected the two cities. Warburton was further inland, sitting right in the middle of the desert. That meant that the city had no tourism value and was mostly inhabited by locals. Kathlyn had spent her childhood there until her family moved to Melbourne when she was 11.
