Cloncurry

Leaving Winton today from The Long Waterhole and got a lovely sunrise photo. Sometimes you can be lucky (See the last photo in the Winton group).
Original plan was to drive to Julia Creek and then Mt Isa tomorrow but we were feeling good and the day was clear so we headed to Cloncurry. A longer drive but shortens the trip to Mt Isa tomorrow. We didn't stop to sight see in Cloncurry, just a quick visit to the local library and then on to our camp for the night at Stoney Creek free camp just north of the town.
There's plenty of stones here and not much creek, but it's ok for an overnighter. We had our first experience of true bulldust on the way into the camp with a fine red covering over everything when we stopped. Happy to say there was none inside.
Camped up with two other couples from Victoria and had a pleasant happy hour with them swapping travel stories.Read more
