kinda enjoying our stay here. Been hot during the day but with a pool, well shaded mini golf and undercover basketball court, seems to always be something to do. went for another ride today, this time to the pub. Bit expensive. Went back for dinner but probably shouldn’t have. Kids […]
20231014 Julia Creek day 2
little bike ride around town. Coffee cake library playground. Then went for a swim putt putt again and some basketball. Headed to enjoy the hot tub. Natural water from the basin. WordPress not letting me upload..
20231013 Julia Creek day 1
Not sure what we will do for 3 nights here. Got an oil change done. Saw the visitor center and the Dunnart. Drove past the pubs. Had some huge rats run under me while chatting on the phone. Kids went for a swim. Seb went to the skate park and […]
20231011 Cloncurry
Stayed here for two nights. So this is for the 20231012 as well. Firstly while I remember, a seb quote: “Dad, why do you have a beard growing in your nostril?” Nice one mate. Set up next to Miras new friend – Lacey and Millie. Parents Corey and Brooke. Inseparable. […]
20231010 Mary Kathleen
Went through Mount Isa and picked up some supplies before heading through toward Cloncurry. So what is Mary K? An abandoned mining town. Just the concrete slabs have been left really. Cows now roam over the cleared land and caravans spend the night for free on this privately owned land. […]
20231009 WWII Historic
The name of this post is overselling. Just a road side stop. The historical significance is that during the war, they got this connection to the threeways sealed to assist with getting supplies to Darwin. Anyway, this is our first stop getting back into Queensland. After 7 and a bit […]
20231008 Barkly Roadhouse day 2
Cruisey day chilling here. Not much to say really. Bit of football outside, swim. Usually stuff we do on a chill day. There was still lots of smoke around but the road appeared opened. Hopefully no more fires overnight.
20231007 Barkly Homestead Roadhouse
Skipped Tenant Creek and went straight to the homestead. Stopped in at the threeway Roadhouse which was expensive fuel but seen worse. Got to the homestead. The road was shut due to fire. So guess that is lucky that we aren’t in a rush. think this place burnt down so […]
20231006 Banka Banka West
Station stay just of the Stuart highway. Slow going, I’m guessing a decent headwind. Nice grassy sites. Kids found a baby brown snake or a whip snake. Not sure. Went for a small hike up the hill. Played cricket and soccer with the kids. First night in a while the […]
20231005 Daly Waters Pub day 2
Went for a walk through the site. Tim’s junkyard is more like a treasure chest of collectable cars motorbikes and other random bits. Some very rare and collectable pieces as well. Not sure what else happened. Went for a swim again. Talked to a family that is cycling from Darwin […]
