Steve had said this was a long boring drive and he wasn't kidding. The Barkly tableland is dead flat, hot, dry, yellow and dusty. Camooweal is a dot on the map and I'm glad we decided to head into the Isa yesterday. Crossed into the NT for the first time in my life! Barkly Homestead is very isolated but well set up. 209.9c for diesel. We all eagerly jumped into the very cold pool. Not a blade of grass.
