Up early had a shower, shared with a big fat green frog jumping around. Bore Water must be good for green frogs. Left Winton 7.50am once on highway we travelled behind the Potters nick name (Happy Harry). Thought we were stopping 102kms up the road but no they kept driving, then Mike disappeared into the distance. Finally caught them at the Walkabout Pub at McKinlay - population 20. Shared morning tea in little park and then shared a couple of pots at the pub. Chatted with some other travellers before heading off to Cloncurry for lunch. Stopped at the nice spot call Mary Kathleen Park pleasant under the shady trees and green grass. The community was there planning a Curry afternoon, looked pretty good. About 40kms up the road we stopped to visit the Burke & Wills memorial. The expidition of Burke & Wills crossed this spot on 22 January 1861. Our next stop was the township of Mary Kathleen, only a notice remaims, you have to sense the township that was once here. Very strange. We headed off thinking we would free stay again only to find this free stay was a truck stop at the side of the road. So off we headed into Mt Isa and settled into the Sunset Caravan Park. Really nice, parked our vans. I did a clean of the road kill on our van - yuck. Trice cooked a special dinner which was greatly appreciated. Spoke to the girls and now heading off to bed.
A week has passed already. Really having a great time.
Love this life.
