WE had a slight change of plans today with the sky looking very overcast (High level horsey tail sort of cloudy stuff and some other stringy and dotty cloudy stuff...) JB will make it fully correct in terminology if you so desire. It looked like the viewing of the Cosmos Centre would prolly be a blowout. We made the executive decision to divert around Charleville and head a little north to the lovely little town of Tambo.
As I sit here, it is 8 degrees C and no wind. I am siting outside under the stars with an almost full moon overhead.
The day on the road was really enjoyable. We have become those vanners who sit on 80kph (for fuel economy and handling reasons. I must reassure my van hater friends that we are most cooperative with truckers and th elike to facilitate them doing their jobs of driving.
The amount of road kill is just breathtaking, in more ways than one... There are reallty good reasons not to drive at night around this neck of the woods, and the roo's are the big thing to avoid.
The term "Blue Sky Country" is just so spot on.
You will recall that I said we were snug in the van last night. Well, at 4am (yes the mandatory pee was required) it was 4.8 degrees. I suspect that tonight will be cooler.
Photos and video will be posted up when we can..
Next stop is Longreach, with a good look around Blackall (The Wool Scour is a place I want to visit again) and then Barcaldine, (Tree of Knowledge display, as if I wouldn't?) and then a couple, of days in Longreach to check on stuff, do a little maintenance and washing.
