We finally pulled up stumps and left Jondaryan Woolshed on Wednesday morning, it was a little sad to be leaving but also exciting to be travelling again especially as we are now heading for the N.T. to visit with Stuart, our youngest son and his girlfriend Alex, will be great to catch up with them...and hopefully the Barra are biting in the Victoria River!
The staff at Jondaryan made a public presentation of flowers to Lucille at morning tea time on Tuesday, she was a little chuffed! and Lucille being Lucille had also bought flowers for them! A women's thing I reckon, anyway was great to be appreciated and to be asked back again in the future, time will tell.
Wednesday we drove to Morven where we camped at the local Recreation Ground, very nice with good showers and toilets for a $5 donation for the night, about 30 vans camped there and you may stay a maximum of one week.
Today we travelled from Morven through Augathella, Tambo, Blackall, Barcaldine, Longreach and finally bedded down for the night at a roadside camp at Morella, about 60k's N.W. of Longreach, only about four vans here tonight.
Weather has been good the last two days as we have finally got some warmer temperatures, around 28degree mark.
All going well but know wonder the Queensland Govt. is going broke as every road we travel on is damaged from the floods and are laying in a state of disrepair or they are being worked on and in some cases the old roads abandoned and new ones being made.
As you might have gathered we are not doing a lot of touristy things on this leg of our journey, a bit of a bolt to the Territory.
Any way laptop nearly out of battery and no power here so thats it fior now
Cheers Chris
Ps To Harry and Cal, great to have a chat the other night, hope to talk again soon
