    Opalton

    July 20, 2018, Philippine Sea ⋅ 🌧 28 °C

    We decided to go check out Opalton which is about 100kms from Winton on a dirt corrugated track, 3.5hrs later we arrived. After the dust settled we decided to stay for a night and search the next day for the elusive Opal.
    There is a ‘bush camp’ which has a flush toilet and hot showers once the fire pit gets cranking. We slept like babies in the pitch black quiet evening.
    After a quick stop at the 2 shed township we headed to the fossicking area where we spent ten minutes scouring the red ground for a ‘once in a lifetime’ find hahaha
    On our way back to Winton we stopped to take photo’s of the 4 dingo’s who didn’t make it out alive.
    Luckily the dead dingo’s stopped us as the back water tank was hanging on by the two remaining bolts.
    Winton has Telstra coverage weeeeeeee are with Amaysim.
    Heading for Mt Isa on our whiz around Oz.
