Dag 1
Day 2 Camped on Barcoo at Tambo
16. juli 2023, Australien ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C
We said we were heading to Longreach, still on but only got to Tambo today. We lost an hour this morning and several more minutes during the day trying to work out this Penguin thing. Tonight we are camped on the Barcoo River at Tambo. Not much happening yet, just more driving. Hope to get our fridge looked at in the next couple of days before we hit the warmer weather.Læs mere

Left Tambo this morning and headed to Longreach, just another day of driving. We rang Joseph of Traccs repairs and parts at Longreach at 8.30 this morning and he said call in at 2.00 and he would look at the fridge. Great service and fridge fixed, so all is good. Camped tonight at Macsland rest area about 20ks west of Longreach. Heading to Mary Kathleen tomorrow hope to have a bit more to share and a few more pics.Læs mere

Dag 3
Day 4 Mary Kathleen
18. juli 2023, Australien ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C
Left our camp at Longreach and headed to Winton. Fuelled up and headed west. Pulled up for a cuppa about 10ks out and found the fridge not working again on 12v. I think it's a different thing this time. Met a bloke at last night's camp who told us his 12v hasn't worked for 8yrs, so not too worried. We had a good drive today. A bit more to see and took a few more photos We are camped tonight at Mary Kathleen along with about another hundred vans but as you can see by the photos still plenty of room. We have a few 4 legged neibours as you can see. Headed into Mt Isa in rhe morning after that all new territory.Læs mere

Rejsende Don 't know how we ended up in Rockhampton, I guess we took a wrong turn

Day 5 David Hall rest area
19. juli 2023, Australien ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C
We left Mary Kathleen and headed in to Mt Isa. After filling up and getting a gas bottle refill we decided to head out of town for morning tea. After morning tea we were all set to keep going to Camooweal when we remembered we hadn't filled up with water or emptied the loo. I googled dump point and off we went. Google took us to Dump Rd, no dump point. Mum looked at Wiki Camps and we headed off again. Finally found what we were looking for and did what we had to do and headed off. As you can tell by looking at our tracking map it was quite an ordeal. At least we never went to Rockhampton. We called in and had lunch at a free camp that had no phone coverage so we moved onto where we are tonight.
We had a beer withI Franz, a man from Switzerland who has ridden a bike right around the coast all the way from Perth ( 7 months) and is heading to Broome where he flies back home on 9th September. We are heading into Camooweal tomorrow and then to Barkly Homestead where we will meet Murray and Yvonne.Læs mere

CAMOOWEAL
21. juli 2023, Australien ⋅ 🌙 18 °C
After saying good bye to our new friend Franz we left our camp and arrived in Camooweal mid morning and had a look around. We called into the supermarket/Post office and bought some bread. The lady behind the counter told us that the closure of the free camping had nothing to do with the towns people, it was all instigated by the council in Mt Isa, and they were not happy about it at all. We visited the Drovers camp museum which is small but very interesting. After filling up we headed off crossed into NT and spent the night at Avon Downs police station rest area.Læs mere

Dag 7
Avon Downs
22. juli 2023, Australien ⋅ 🌬 22 °C
After crossing into NT we spent the night at Avon Downs rest stop. This place has an interesting history. It was established in January 1882 by Thomas Guthrie. In September that same year began the longest sheep drive in Australia's history. 11,000 sheep left Rich Avon in NW Victoria. 16mths and 3,500kms later 4000 sheep arrived at Avon Downs eventually the number grew to 70,000 head. Unfortunately all the sheep have been sold and have been replaced by 14000 head of cattle. Thomas Guthrie asked for a police station to be established to protect him from horse thieves and other criminals. Not sure when it was established but it is still here today.Læs mere

Dag 8
Barkly Homestead
23. juli 2023, Australien ⋅ ☀️ 7 °C
Arrived at Barkly Homestead on Friday and spent 2 nights with Murray and Yvonne. This is an amazing place, brought by the owners in '21 for around 14 million and after a fire in the kitchen last year, followed by extensive renovations it has reopened. When we arrived they were still painting the sign on the roof and we met one of the owners Susan Bassingthwaighte planting the new garden. It has been good catching up with the Hales and doing nothing except chatting, eating and drinking. Heading off today, not sure how far we will get.Læs mere

Heading to Mataranka
23. juli 2023, Australien ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C
After saying farewell to Murray and Yvonne we headed off to 3 Ways on the Stuart Highway. It was blowing a gale from the SSE and it was freezing. Luckily for us it was coming from behind us so helped us with fuel economy. After fueling up at 3 ways we headed off towards Katherine. We pulled up about 3pm and camped at what we thought was just a gravel pit but surprisingly there were lots of quite large tracks into the surrounding scrub. We went for a bit of an exploration and found a god spot to settle in for the night. I took a bit of walk and found a good variety of wild flowers on shrubs and plants. After a good night's sleep we headed into Mataranka.Læs mere

Dag 9
Mataranka
24. juli 2023, Australien ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C
Arrived in Mataranka about 3.30pm and after getting fuel and some essentials like bread and milk headed off to the thermal pools. Last time we up this way we never went to the springs so finally we got to have a dip. It was warm in the water and so relaxing but because we arrived so late and needed to be in Katherine the next day we didn't spend as much time there as we would have liked. After about an hour in the pool we left and headed towards Katherine and stopped for the night with about 45ks still to travel the next day.Læs mere
