Yes a kilo of fresh local prawns for tea tonight from the local fisherman. Yum yum. We drove from Charters Towers through the coastal ranges and skirted Townsville all in cloudless skies. By the time we had got to Ingham it was looking pretty grey. You get mentally prepared for it to be cold but it was still 24c outside so not too bad We arrived in Cardwell to a pleasent welcome to a very nice beachside caravan park albeit drizzling by that time. The views to H...

Yes its a winner!!!! We both had a win and a few places but a lovely afternoon at the races. So much people watching it was hard to keep my head from doing a 360 every now and again. There was 8 catagories for Fashions on the Field and no niether of us entred but we did have a good look at them all, and agreed with most of the winners.

The North Gregory hotel (cover pic) is the first place Waltzing Matilda got a public airing way back when. Its in the main St of Winton where we have ended up tonight. Another sunny 24c day with little cloud but it did take time to get there. It wasn't tee shirt weather until after lunch. A quick 200km drive from Longreach through the roadkill carnange and the Hawks, Kites and Eagles doing their clean up work saw us here by 11am so after checking out the town we ...
