Tuesday 31st July Made the trip to Cunnamulla along the Mitchell Highway. This highway must have the fattest carnivorous birds in Australia because along this highway they have a smorgasbord to choose from. In many places the road was littered with dead carcasses of kangaroos, wallabies, pigs, goats, emus and other smaller animals we could not identify, maybe rabbits?

We had planned to move on the next day Thursday but after looking at a brochure we got from reception and realising we had a few things to...

We will be staying in the local caravan park. Friends have suggested that there are some interesting things to see here so we may stop a few days.
