Day 31 - Longreach Its time to head home. We packed up and it the road around 8:30. A quick morning tea stop at Bourke and Wills Roadhouse and then lunch at Julia Creek. We travelled on and after a few tense kilometres with the petrol gauge reading 0km to empty we rolled into Longreach at around 7:15. We had tea at the pub and then shouted ourselves the luxury of a cabin for the night to save getting the tent wet. We were all very excited by not having to...

Day 30 - Karumba Nick left early this morning on a fishing charter and returned around lunch time with about 6 good size Mackerel. The rest of us spent the morning playing cards and walking up to the local market to have a look at the stalls. It was a quiet afternoon with another game of cards and a swim before heading to the pub for a frothy and back for tea.

Day 29 - Karumba We had a sleep in today and then went for a drive and a look around town. Picked up some fish and prawns for tea as well as the groceries.

After cleaning the fish we all jumped in the pool for a cool off before heading to the Sunset Tav...

It was quite amusing to see everyone walk out to the front of the pub for the 5 minutes it took for the sun to set...

Day 27 - Undara (Again...) The car was loaded up and towed away at about 6:30 this morning, I think we might have woken half the camp ground up. Nick went with the car, hoping it would be ready to drive back today, but prepared for an overnight stay if needed. The rest of us had a quiet morning, playing cards, reading and playing with the toy cars in the dirt. Then we went for a walk up to the lookout. Nick rang at lunchtime and said the car was fixed (small...
