    Muttaburra Qld

    September 1 in Australia 🌙 23 °C

    We arrived on Sunday for a few days at a camp on the Thomson River about 10k out of the town of Muttaburra which is just over 100ks from Longreach.

    The last few days after Winton saw us staying for 4 nights at Ilfracombe about 25ks out of Longreach.

    We planned 2 nights to get some washing done and visit The Longreach Stockmans Hall of Fame, but stayed for 4 nights.

    We spent over 5 hours at The Stockmans Hall of Fame while people just come and go. Its all an audio self guided tour. We learnt so much once we got our equipment working and got into the swing of an audio tour. Ask me about RM Williams working dog shoes.

    We had lunch at the Wellshot Hotel. Mick didn't pop in till Thursday and realised they have a dart comp on Wednesday nights. Bummer. Not much darts due to constant wind.

    Ilfracombe has a mile long tractor outdoor museum down the main street, a huge private gun collection and bottle collection. Donation. Lots of history as all these places have our here.

    They have a 20m local pool with a big warm artesian spa. Water is treated. But it was very good swim. So many pools out here do not open until 15th September even though its 36 degrees. Crazy.

    We knew there were lots of birds above us but when we went to close up van to move on Wednesday morning the bird shit was next level. Mick scrubbed a bit to hard and now marks all over the back of the van. Apparently he can fix it so hopefully thats done soon.

    We will go into Muttaburra tomorrow and check out all the things to see. Last days to see a lot of things out this way because tourist season is wrapping up.    Read more
