Barkly Homestead

Stopped at Barkley Homestead for fuel. A long line up as per usual. Fuel $2.25
The Barkly has been through some hard times since we passed through here last year. They has a fire and was burnt down. Then a they were flooded.
It was good to see them up and trading again. But don't love the new building as much as the old one.
A great iconic stop for travellers to refuel cars and bodies. Was good to see the goannas survived.

Free camping again tonight about an hour north of Barkly. At the 41 mile bore. Another great stop. Flocks of cheerful Zebra finches enjoying the waterhole and lots of wattle just braking out in bloom. And interesting people to chat to.

Will head to the 3 ways and onto the Stuart Hwy tomorrow.Read more
