Back to Blackall we go via the back roads.Our first stop was at a lookout not far out of Boulia which was at the top of a hill and had nice views of the surrounding area.From here we turned south and headed across the farm paddocks to Old Cork station - John Williamson sings about Old Cork Station in one of his songs so we thought we would drive past for a look.From here we travelled the Cork - Jundah Road to Lark Quarry Conservation Reserve which houses a fossilised dinosaur stampede. There are hundreds are dinosaur footprints of varying sizes spread across what was once a mud flat - it was very interesting and we were very happy we called in there.The official tours for the day had finished but the old guy volunteering there was happy to show us around and give us the history of the place.

We continued driving for a few hours until we came to a river where we found a nice spot to camp for the night.This would be our last night camping in the bush for a while.

We continued south through Stonehenge and on to Isisford where we stopped for lunch and a look at the Discovery Centre where we learnt a bit about the history of Isisford as well hearing about the fossils that have been discovered in the area.

Then it was off to Blackall.
