The rain has stopped

Longreach, Australia


The rain had stopped at Anakie when we woke up so we headed off for the long journey to Longreach. I was happy now and enjoying the trip. We stopped at Alfafa and had breakfast and then on to Baracaldine for lunch. Alfafa is the city of wall murals which depict historical events all over the town. Baracaldine is the home of the Labor party and has a workers hall of fame to celebrate this fact. We arrived at Longreach at 3.30pm which gave us enough time to check the mail and do some laundry. The drive had been long as we were driving into a head wind and seemed to be climbing most of the time. I had noticed a Dump Point at the Longreach Show grounds and so we went to investigate. We found that the carnival crowd were camped there so we did too. There were hot showers, toilets and power so we were set for the night. We were surrounded by fairy floss vans, merry go rounds and show bag trailers - Caitlin thought we had arrived at the Show. We had a good nights sleep and set out early for the Stockmen Hall of Fame. We spent a number of hours there - I particularly really enjoyed it - I had always wanted to go there. It is lunch time and we are off to Winton, I just saw a poster for Winton which showed that tomorrow is the Ute muster so we might get caught up in that also.
