29th July 2011 - Starry night Free Camp - Soudan Free Camp


Barry & I must have really slept well last night, didn’t hear a thing and according to Joy & Wayne there was another camper come into our camp around 1.30am & leave at 6.30am – Heard nothing!!  They were up peering out their window and most concerned with thoughts of “Wolf Creek”.  Luckily we all survived to journey onto the next free camp.  Our plan was to be in Mt.Isa by Sunday but it appears that we will be there Saturday as we have made up quite a bit of time.  Another glorious day in Paradise – again not a cloud in the sky, no wind and heading towards 30 degrees.  Brunch was at 41 Mile Bore (The bores were used to water the cattle before there were road trains to take the cattle to market) and then onto Barkly Homestead for an ice-cream and a stretch of the legs.  It is a long haul across “Route 66”, on the way to QLD border & Mt.Isa.  Tonight we have tucked ourselves right down the back of Soudan Bore Rest Area.  Cooked some ribs in the “Baby Q” for dinner and no fire tonight. Played a "Truth or Crap" game with Joy & Wayne, similar to trivial pursuit....good fun.
