Blackall Run

Day 3

Stayed at Tambo caravan park last night. Had a powered sight $35 so we could run the electric heater all night. Good nights sleep we got near zero degrees last night. Water frozen. Had breakfast and packed up. We are getting better at it. We were able to get away at 9am. Not that we are rushing in the mornings. Have to unfreeze first. We then headed off to Blackall at a steady pace there are hundreds of vans in the road, heading in both directions. 100 K’s down the road we arrived at Blackall. Went and checked out the Black Stump. Apparently a surveyors point. So that’s why beyond the Black Stump. Then down town and found a park in the centre to visit the chemist and hardware store. Then it was off the the coffee shop for guess what! A coffee. A quick look as we drive out at the Rollie Polly art and the big B sign. Then another 100 K’s to Lara Wetlands. We have stayed here before, it is a beautiful spot about 13 K’s off the bitumen along a dirt road. Artesian fed waterhole then feeds into a wetlands area. $30/night staying two nights. We set up on the lake grabbed a fire pit and bought some wood. Then after setup it was book in for dinner tomorrow and sit and have drinks before dinner. Could be another cool one tonight. Planing on taking it easy tomorrow. See you in the morning.Read more
