End of first day - Jimbour - Longeach

Image
Well we've had a BIG day of travelling. Left home at 6.20am and arrived in Longreach 10hrs later. We had breaky in Roma at Maccas then a late lunch in Tambo. Rained most of the way and the creeks between Barcaldine and Longreach are trickling over the road. Lovely falls out here. We are 'glamping' in a cabin in the Longreach caravan park as we didn't feel like setting up campers in shiny mud tonight. Puddles everywhere. Steak sangas, real shower and toilet a TV (to catch up with the Cook boys on House Rules) and a real bed tonight. Could've happened half way through the trip and these little luxuries would of been appreciated so much more. Will check in tomorrow as we've also been most spoilt with phone service most of the day.

So we crawled to Deons Lookout and some stockmen and Karl and Tony popped the bonnet. I think they worked out that whenwe ran out of fuel a few days back, it must of sucked some crap up into filter. Between the 4 men, they drained a bit of fuel and we were good as gold again. Deons Lookout is amazing. We were so lucky to be there after rains d the view so green. Wikicamps helped us find a spot on the Ward River 30kms west of Charleville. We set up for the last time, ...
