End of first day - Jimbour - Longeach

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.

Just left the beautiful Adels grove, where co-indecently we had a drink with Pete Frith and Roger and Di Lyne. Jan was cooking their tea. Drove on the Savannah Way to Doomagee and did a drive through and we are now on our way to Hells Gate. Meaghans birthday today and she's ordered pizza , yogis syrup dumplings with cream n custard! Not bad for a bush camp feed. I've bought a packet choc cake and directions say mix on low for 3 mins then on high. I figure, I'll be low speed and Jodie can be high speed!!!!!! Hahaha.

Today the we split from the group and head into Darwin a day earlier than everyone. Catch up with my brother and his family. The camp we are in now is gorgeous. Green grass! Brad is in heaven. We all are. Red dirt is overrated we've decided. I took this photo from bed. What a view!
