• Day 131 - Barkly H/Std to McKinlay

    September 8, 2024 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 32 °C

    Long drive going through flat open paddocks. Lots of road works with timed stop lights, most of which we drove through. The road certainly needs repairing, heaps of holes, lumps, and bumps.

    Back into Qld late morning, a noticeable improvement in road condition....probably temporary 😅 Surprisingly the road stayed good.

    Filled up at Mt Isa and kept driving through to McKinlay, John & Anne had decided the same place for the night.

    The Walk About Hotel from Crocodile Dundee is the caravan park. Interesting pub with heaps of memorabilia from the movie.

    When we pulled into the park, we noticed a lot of cars had their bonets up, turns out there are rats here and also at Barkly Homestead.

    Fingers crossed, none of the furry creatures got into our wiring. Our wiper washer stopped working yesterday. Checked the hose out and there were bits missing so we assume the rats were looking for water.
