After arriving at Cape Crawford and filling up with fuel at the “Heartbreak Hotel” we continued on and camped off the side of the road in Downs country. There are no trees, and it is sooooo dry here. Lots of large steers came to visit our camp the next morning before we headed off, and Ethan tried out his ‘mooing’.
Today we helped out a nice elderly gent who had run out of petrol and was stuck beside the road in his old converted mini bus that he had bought for $100 4 years ago. Unfortunately we don’t carry any petrol being a diesel car – so we drove into Barkly Station to fill his Jerry can and returned it to him. As he had no cash we were given some lovely frozen Barramundi fillets instead.
The next day we crossed into Queensland!! Ethan was very happy that he is back in his home State. Over night we camped beside a river in Camooweal Caves National Park, and explored the Caves before heading for Mount Isa the next morning.
