Well the plan was to head for Merluna Station to stay the night but we got there by 11 am n there was nothing happening all day in regard to station cattle work etc n all looked very quiet so we made the decision to keep moving on down to Laura as this would give us more options over coming days with the extra time. This has proved to be a good decision already as we've had a great night at Quinkin Pub followed by exploring Split Rock n Maytown today. We had a Bi...

We had a pretty good run through, a bit nostalgic as we passed the various turn offs to some great places that we've stayed at on our way up to the Cape.

At Gunshot we couldn't believe what some people were prepared AND capable of doing with their vehicles! We stayed there for ages n watched as 3 d...

We arrived at Bramwell Station just before 4 o'clock, had a pretty good run through from Chili Beach. Filled up petrol at Bramwell Junction at $2.10 per litre. The ute was pretty thirsty as was down to 69 kilometres left. Bramwell Station is a working station that has learnt to diversify with a combination of traditional cattle property operation of Brahman across cattle, Tourism support & they also hold the contract with the shire for maintaining a substanti...
