Around OZ The First Time

Virgins with a van – what could go wrong?

Robyn has had enough. Everything that could have happened has happened and happened to her in her opinion.

Aren’t we good – one day in and we are yet to resort to alcohol! The wind is dying down, there is a brief shower of rain. We turn in early ready to hit the road to Lennox Head in the morning.

Remember how I said we had been alcohol free day 1, well day 2 might be a little different.

(and our first free camping experience)

Trudged back to the van for a reload on lures. I picked a small bibbed lure that seemed appropriate for the creek and species.

Barcaldine is the site of the end of the Great Shearers Strike and where under the Tree of Knowledge the execution of documents creating the Australian Labor Party. We spend the time of the setting sun wandering the exhibits here and marvel at the history

Today will be disjointed as far as the driving goes. 100 kilometres up the road is Longreach, the home to 2 amazing museums.

Today is all about dinosaurs. Winton has some amazing archaeological digs.

This is an idyllic spot. Vans settled, Silver Leader suggests we need to deploy the yabby traps.

Its dry out here – very dry. The dust is everywhere but that adds to the experience for now. We will see if it detracts as the trip goes on.

Just missed happy hour in the Barkley Roadhouse Bar but with the wind still howling, why get the barbeques out when a bar and grill is adjacent
