Kevin had a very early rise 4.30am to be exact, to meet the daily bus from Toowoomba arriving in Tambo to get the parts ordered the previous day....great service. We were under way by 8.00am and had our first stop in Blackall to visit the historic Woolscour shed. Fantastic to learn about our history....it is the only working display left in Australia and is a credit to the dedicated people responsible for keeping it going. We also had a photo opportunity at the "Black Stump" and then onto Barcaldine for lunch.....the pies looked that good at the bakery, we just had to sample the cheese & bacon, delicious. The "Tree of Knowledge" was next on our agenda and a walk along the street, so many hotels for a small town but of course the population has long gone from inland Australia....such a shame! We arrived in Longreach early afternoon and are planning a 3 day stopover as there is a lot to see.
