Last two nights

We stayed at Betoota two nights in a Billabong which ran off Browns Creek. It was a perfect end to our three weeks of travel. We had a full day of rest, the boys did a spot of fishing, which was not successful and us girls caught up on necessary hand washing. We had a beautiful camp oven tea followed by Yogis famous syrup dumplings (only no golden syrup so improvised and used maple syrup). Plus Dianne made Date scones in her Thermocooker - yum! very spoilt...

When we left our ute wouldn't go over 75-80kms an hour. 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, built a fire and had an easy tea.

It's been a fantastic three weeks. We are so lucky to live in a country so diverse as Australia. If you get the chance, pack your car up and go. There is so much to see. Our next venture will be the Cape next year. So till then, happy camping.........
