Heading to Yaraka via Barky.

Day 5

We are heading to Yaraka today but taking a detour via Barcaldine so we can get some more cash. Not to many ATM’s out this way. So it will be a long pack up and slow start this morning. Left about 9am and a nice non eventful drive to Barcaldine. Here we had a look around, plenty to see around here. We went to the ATM ands got out some cash, we are going to need it from here. The to the bakery for morning tea and coffee. Monster apple turnover and Rell had the large sausage roll. Then off to fuel up, this will be the last of the cheap fuel @ $2.07. Then we took the back road to Isisford. The roads are great and the wild life is prolific. Emu’s, goats, Roo’s and Birds galore. Arrived at Isisford and had a look around, looks like they have a fishing comp on next weekend and every man and his dog are already camped there ready for it. There are some beautiful spots on the river for camping. They have the Big Yellow Belly fish here. Great little town. Then onto Yaraka. We had lunch at a water hole on the Barcoo rive. A bit of a weir and boat ramp. Had a chat with some visitors before we headed on our way. Pulled up in Yaraka and a guy gave us directions to the Hall and said find a spot. Power and water available along with showers and toilets. $5/night. Can’t complain about that and they do dinner at the Pub so that kept Rell happy.Читать далее
