Day Twenty-Six - July 5

We left Mt Isa and Christie and Jed's house at 7.30 this morning and buckled up for a long day driving. 

It has been lovely seeing the places that have just been names of where Dad was at work. 

We stopped at Winton for fuel, and had to raid the kids wallets because their phone lines were down, so no eftpos. So now I owe Zane $20.

We enjoyed seeing all the old machinery parked along the side of the road in Ilfracombe.

Talked to Lauren this arvo, and she is home sick. Hoping we aren't to blame and that no one else is going to go down.

Somewhere between Barcaldine and Jericho we saw an echidna. Alive, which made a nice change from most of the animals we have seen in the last few days.

We finally made it to Jericho just after 5. We are in a lovely free camp, called Redbank Park. Lots of space and shade, and a small play area for the boys.

 

It's still quite warm, and we are all in t-shirts and shorts. Not sure that is going to last much longer. We should be in Wandoan tomorrow night.

We found this at Jericho. Looks like a nice scenic drive to note for next time.
