Last Day on the Plenty

Day 32

Heading to Boulia this morning, not in a real hurry. Have to talk to the kids first, have breakfast and pack up. Only about 350K’s this morning. Then we will spend the rest of the day in town.
Well we headed off this morning after the routine of breakfast and pickup. It was back to the slightly corrugated roads. We past the people we have run into several times they must have camped just up the road a little from us. Anyway Tobermory station was only about a hour and a halve up the road so we decided to pull in there for a coffee and so did the people we keep passing. After a coffee it was off the the QLD border just 5min down the road and guess what bitumen. It was about 250 K’s to Boulia and nearly all that was on bitumen. So a fairly easy run into town. We arrived about 1:15pm and went to the pub for lunch only they stop serving around 1pm. So we ended up with a pizza from there and a couple of drinks. Then we took a look at the local gift store a monster of a store with motorbikes and all. Then it was to the information centre to check out the Min Min lights. Rell bought some gear from both places. Then out to book into the caravan park. Not to bad deside the river and just out of town, not like the bush though. It did have a hot shower and that was great. We need to explore the outback country with the van we could take it nearly everywhere we went on the Tanami and the Plenty and we need to explore these areas instead of just passing through. Anyway we are here for the night and we will have an easy one. The days from here on should only be short drives around 350K’s so not to bad. Good night.Read more
