After our interesting stay at Elliott we moved out this morning. We came across a backpacker who was asleep on the side of the road. All types up here. First stop was Daly Waters Pub, very interesting, lots of undies, bras, thongs, business cards, flags, teeshirts, caps everything you can think of. As John and I didn't have a business card, we left a Carby Bakery card and John wrote our names on as customers. I tried to get John to leave his North Melbourne stubbie holder but he refused. We had a yummy barra burger and chips and a nice cold beer. There was this beautiful pool there but it was full of foreign travellers all young so I passed on a swim. The barmaid had only been in town for two weeks, she and her hubby retired and were travelling around Australia, got to Daly Waters fell in love and bought some land with a tin shed and are planning on staying. They are also re-developing the overgrown golf course. You do meet all types when you are travelling. This lady told us about the WWII Aerodrome and she said you can actually drive along it. So, yes off we went to do just that. I must admit it was fun and a strange feeling. We also saw the tree where John Stanley Stuart carved his name. Lots of history we also saw the Telegraph Line that was erected many many years ago. We are planning on staying here in the Manor Caravan Park for tonight and tomorrow night. We are off to the Thermal pools and Rain forest walk, will fill you all in on our day tomorrow night. We skyped both the girls tonight and it was great to see everyone.
This park has wildlife, we have peacocks walking around our van. They also have Barra feeding twice a day.
