No Photos today
This morning was a very easy pack up as we were only on a one night stop over. We were ready to leave the Caravan Park a little after 0800.
The first destination was a return to the F J Holden Cafe for a cappuccino and toast. Again the coffees, including Prue's soya one, were very good. Sometimes it is possible to get a good coffee in a little town but mostly rare.
So about 0830, we set off for Winton. After about an hour we stopped at Stamford Roadhouse. There is a big 'Donga'(temporary accommodation) village set up beside the roadhouse. The people who live in the village are the workers on the reconstruction of the Winton/Hughenden Road. The roads are really very good.
After about 3 hours, we arrived in Winton. This is my 4th visit to this town. Prue is visiting for the 2nd time. It is a typical western Queensland town, dry and dusty, and the people are friendly.
We booked in to the Matilda Caravan Park. The sites are dry and dusty but the amenity block is clean and tidy. We unhooked and set up as we are here for a 2 night stop.
It was lunch time so we went to the Winton Visitor Information Centre. We had our lunch and another cappuccino each. While then, we purchased our tickets for entry into Lark Quarry for our visit tomorrow.
Then it was a bit of a drive around the town with us eventually stopping to take a photo of the Mal Walker & Co.-Stock and Station Agency. Only one that we have seen with the same name as our son!
Our final in town stop was the Spar Supermarket for a few items.
Then it was back to the Caravan Park for a relaxing afternoon. Then at 1830 we adjourned to the Park shed for an evening with "Bush Poets on Tour", Melanie Hall and Susan Carcary. I suggest you listen to some of their sample tracks. They were most entertaining and involved the crowd, too.
So ended another day on the road.
