A full day today, visit to the Longreach School of Air. Very interesting showed us the classrooms and observed a School of the Air lession in progress. It is amazing how the education is delivered to the children in the bush. They have up to date equipment, but still use the telephone to hold the lessons. They come together four times a year and meet as clusters or mini school. I purchased a book and then you give it back to the library a clever way of fund raising. A great idea.
We then went off the the Stockman's Hall of Fame. Very interesting but lots of reading etc. John really enjoyed the day.
Had a tidy up in the afternoon and of course a cool swim. Thought we would have dinner at the local and mix with the townsfolk. Funny we were the only ones there. Town looked deserted when we came outside.
Off to Winton tomorrow for yet another adventure.
