Yes we are still in the same spot. Actually we have been here 4 weeks today. Tuesday 1st August we will take off again.
We have, and are enjoying our time here, climate is great, cool first thing in the morning and then between 24&28 degrees during the day, no mozzies, sandflys, & very few flies, don't even have to bother with screens.
We have continued to have our weekly trip to Charters Towers, they are always busy, gas, water, fuel, laundry, Telstra, Camping shop, book exchange, Chemist and Supermarket. The obligatory visit to Target, Millers!!! And $2 shop!! .
The internet connection is not good here, we are just too low & it is very frustrating, I miss my regular daily 'fix'!
I've just read 'Spirits of the Ghan' by Judy Nunn & thoroughly engaged it. A real insight into Aboriginal life.
There are not so many staying here now, the creek isn't flowing now, many came for fishing, it was when we came. I guess that will mean mozzies very soon. The cattle come through twice every day, about 40 of them & it's a great sight.
We are feeling very brave, to save our good water, we have a cold shower every second day in the public ablution blockIt takes a bit of courage to really get under that COLD water. This 'Old Chook' feels pretty pleased with herself! 😁😁
Market again tomorrow morning, Nice to chat to other folk.
I will post a new photo of 'Bridge over troubled waters' ....More trouble, poor cattle are running out of water!
Oh, we saw the camels 🐫 again last Thursday, it's quite special.
Richmond is playing & Brian is able to watch it on his iPad, he's hoping for a win , they are in the 4th quarter & 26 ahead!! He VERY vocal!
Trust I will have more to report over coming days.
