Week 6 West to Barcaldine and Longreach

 
 
 

 
The Spirit of the Outback heading for Longreach from Brisbane 24hrs.

 
More of these on the road.

 
Our campsite at Lloyd Jones Weir just out of Barcaldine. 2 nights here.

 
Downstream no water!!


 
Upstream a little bit.  The waters flood 7 mtrs above this!!
 
 
Heaps of these guys here

 
Barcaldine


 
Barcaldine the tree of Knowledge.

 
There are some Kiwis over here!

 
Flat land towards Longreach

 
Road Work everywhere
 
 
 
Lots and lots of Road Trains here. We had trouble with the extension mirror being blown in every time they passed.  Road kill by the hundreds!!


 
Just out of Longreach a picnic by a pond.
 
There are 2 things you must do in Longreach.
The 1st is to spend at least 2hrs plus at the QANTAS Founders Museum.
This is dedicated to the birth of QANTAS in 1921
 
 
 







 
The 2nd is to go on a Mckinnon & Co twilight cruise and film show on the Thomson River.
A magic 4 hrs of entertainment and a good campfire meal
