DAY 43

Day 43 Wednesday 30th May

Woke up again, yes still alive! So we can travel today!!!
The night was extremely windy, nearly blew the van away. Cool start to the day (for a change) temp,17-30 today. I can handle that.

Up, up and away to Cloncurry. The road out of “The Isa” very hilly, so a bit of a hard pull for the “Crusher”.
But good to have some different type of landscape to look at. Had to follow a Road Train full of cattle for a bit, but eventually got pass him, he must have been in crawler gear, because that’s the speed it was doing!!

Once we passed through Cloncurry the land became very flat and in my humble opinion B…. boring!!!
We finally reached Winton, which for some reason seemed to take forever.
Found the V/park, great little park staff very friendly and helpful. The only complaint we could have had , was that the toilets and showers we older than well, me!!!!! The showers used bore water that when it came out it smelt like sulphur!!
But that was all made up by the great nights entertainment we had:- we got a roast dinner for $12 each, and a bush poet for 2 hours of being fun and laughter. He was quite brilliant!! Name Milton Taylor. If you like bush poetry he has 5 cd’s out.
Back to the van for we hope a good nights sleep. No need for a pre-pack as we are only doing 175Klm’s in the morning to get to Longreach. You should see the smile on Brenda’s face! She likes these short days.
Once more were off on another days adventure, what will it hold for us!!!

Stay tuned for the next exciting instalment of the” The trip”
