Longreach - we are staying 3 nights...so much to see!

Day 1
Stockmans Hall of Fame
Interesting but exy! the show was the best part....
Bullocks part of the show...

Even Olly loved the show!

Next Stop -Tambo

Tambo is famous for its Teddy Bears! Very Cute but Very Expensive!
We stayed at a free camp and it was just beautiful...by the river of the Barcoo! Its great to have my Mum and Dad with us! They are loving being with the kids.
Open Fire - nothing better! so long as you can get Rossie off the mobile!!

Mitchell - Artesian Spa

This is a must see! As freezing as it is at night out here, the days are glorious! This spa in Mitchell is a natural bore spring - temp to 38 degrees...you can smell the sulphur in the water and you have to drink loads of water so as not to dehydrate.

We are on our way!

First Stop Roma!
What a beautiful little town...actually all the towns are extremely well maintained..however the roads on the other hand are appalling!
Bouncy Bouncy!
We had dinner at the local Bowls Club...Had a nice time with the locals a spot of pool and darts..Cheap and Cheerful!!
OMG how cold does it get out here!! it got down to 0 degrees!!!
We are definately going to buy a heater...all sold out here in Roma will try next town.
