We stopped for morning coffee at a little town called Kynuna and Mike made some new friends - 2 very friendly brolgas.
We had lunch at Cloncurry and then pushed on to Burke and Wills roadhouse about 180km north of Cloncurry. We were going to stop there but it was dry and dusty, with no shade. Not very inviting. So we continued another 140km NW to Gregory Downs where there is a camp behind the pub. Quite a nice spot,still dry and dusty but we managed to find a spot under a tree a bit away from the other vans.
Ran into a lovely couple from SA (Marian and Ross) with a Goldstream Crown similar t ours. It was fun to swap stories.
We had dinner at the pub and what an amazing experience that was! We are very lose to the Century mine, so it was a very eclectic bunch of mine workers, grey nomads,the local indigenous population and various other odds and sods, not to mention a tribe of dogs running around. A priceless experience and well worth the $20 camping fee and $1.999/lt diesel price.
