On the road again, left home on 6th June 2013, first stop was Dan Murphy's at Dubbo for the essential cellar stock. First night was at Wylandra Crossing with Deb & Phil Bennet. We looked at the sky and I said "No it wont rain", the next morning Phil had to winch me out twice. Through Bourke, every shop had mesh on the doors and windows, on to Barrigun and spent the night, up to Cunnamulla and saw the fella, a couple of nights at Wyandra, where we had our wedding anniversary dinner at the pub.





Had trouble uploading so some of this is repeated.
On to Lake Dunn, that sunrise at Lake Dunn, Longreach to visit the Qantas museum (very interesting) then to "the Billabong" of Waltzing Matilda fame.
The spoke have rotted since I was last here, the two circles are wheels from a Cobb & Co coach. I did a video of the billabong but it wont download.


Of the 3 pubs above only one serves lunch, the Blue Heeler doesn't, the Quamby is closed, and the Sunset Hotel at Karumba is doing a roaring trade. Viorel and Libby Maggie and I enjoyed the sunset and a cold drink.
