Packed up the van and had fresh home made scones with jam for breakfast thanks to Pam and her “Turbo Cooker” then it was off towards Cloncurry. Totally different and really lovely landscape between Mt.Isa and Cloncurry. Quite hilly and the trees are all lush and revitalised after the rains. Views are really great with red earth, brown grasses and brilliant green trees all set upon a rocky backdrop, stunning. Morning tea at Cloncurry, then onto McKinley where the Walkabout CreekPub is located. This is the pub used in the Crocodile Dundee films. We had to have a beer there as this time it was open. Last time we went through this way it was closed. Next it was onto Kynuna for an egg & bacon sandwich at the Kynuna Roadhouse and some pictures of the Blue Heeler Hotel. Now on the lookout for a free camp and it doesn’t look hopeful. Not a tree is sight and the only free camp in the book is right on the side of the road. But, perseverance always pays off and we have found a fantastic spot behind a very interesting hill that I have named “The Mesa”. Wayne & I walked to the top of “The Mesa” to take some pictures and the views and the sunset were spectacular. Nice and quiet and another 2 campers have made their way in.
