Day 7 - Longreach to Winton

Left Longreach at 8.40 - plenty of green grass. Went to the Dinosaur's workshop 19 k east of Winton. Our guide was Freddie, real character had us all laughing. Poor fellow having to put up with us asking all these questions. Had my pic taken with Barney. Not sure if I believe all this stuff. Thought we were going on a tour but didn't leave the tin shed. Anyway we can say we did it. Went for a walk to see the gorge and I was the only one who took there net hat, kept the flies off me. There were millions of them. To get to this place we drove 10ks along dirt road and then unhitched Michael's car and took off up this mountain, they call it jumpup out here.

We then headed into Winton, free camped here behind the North Gregory Pub, had to register and the little lady behind bar advised we had to patronise the pub, well Johnny was OK with that he and Mike spend the afternoon at the tab. That wasn't a big decision for the boys.

Unfortunately we missed the Waltzing Maltilda Centre as it closed at 3pm. Spend a pleasant evening at our little free camp at the back of the pub.
