Off to Aramac

Day 34

Today we are heading from Winton to Mutaburra and Aramac. Hopefully we will camp at the pub for a couple of nights while checking out the sculpture trail. Anyway after the normal morning routine we should be off. We were going to try for breakfast in town this morning and it is really cool here. Hope it warms up a bit.
Well we stopped in Winton for breakfast this morning at the local News Agency. It was great, I had bacon and eggs $24 and I couldn’t eat it all. Rell had scrambled eggs on toast and she has enough for tomorrow. From here it was on the road and head for Mutaburra, we turned off the main Hwy onto a dirt road. We pulled up 30K’s out of Mutaburra for smoko then continued. Just as we got to the turn we saw all the Variety Bash cars going past to stop at Mutaburra. It was great to see all the Variety people turn out for the kids. There were Storm Troopers and all. After a while of driving around Mutaburra we headed out of town toward Aramac. On the way we passed the sculpture of the fish on the river. It was a haul of about 80K’s to Aramac and when we got there we saw the caravan park, which we didn’t know they had was full of caravans. So we went looking for the pub. We found it and it said free camping. So went in and asked if they did lunch and about the free camping. They said park anywhere out the back and there where free showers and toilets next door. No lunch but you could go to the cafe next door. So decided to have a few drinks and some food from next door. Well they definitely made their money for camping from us. After our drinks we had to go back for a little sleep. After a shower we went back to the pub for dinner. The dinner menu is whatever they decide to cook that night. So yes they made their money again from us. We met a couple from Warnabull in Victoria and had a good chat with them about all the rats, travel and life in general. Having an early night tonight and getting ready for the sculpture trail tomorrow.Read more
