Birdsville Parking Area

We've driven back into Birdsville from Bashville. We are a day early for our booking at Birdsville Tourist Park so we park to camp in the parking area beside the Roadhouse. Big Red Bash volunteers that are working (which Rog did today) are authorised to use this area.
Roger goes and has a shower at the caravan park $5. We then go attend the Bash Volunteer Thank You 4pm at the Birdsville Hall (direct walk to the back door from the area we're parked in). Drinks and food supplied (meant to BYO plates and cutlery - we forgot, no big deal, mainly finger food), very good evening. Met brothers John (Lancefield) and Peter, and couple Darren (paramedic) and Kris (nurse) from Tasmania. May see these ones on our travels as they plan to go to Boulia Camel races too.
We go back to our caravan for an early night.
After a goodnight sleep, we wake to the rain has arrived. We have breakie, I go back to bed relaxing reading a book The Fighting Season Bram Connolly, while Roger goes to the Bakery to get fresh bread.
We wait to move across the road to the caravan park. Can check in at 10.30am.Read more
