Day 6 - Longreach
Our first warm night last night - will really need to take the winter sheets off so we can sleep comfortably! However, we did enjoy a sleep in, knowing we didn't have to hit the road this morning.After decent coffee courtesy of my coffee machine (yay! we have power so I can use it!), I did a spot of grocery shopping and put a load of washing on. Hanging out it to dry in this weather means it was dry very quickly! We then made a few other necessary stops so it was lunchtime before we made it out to the Stockman's Hall of Fame.
We spent an amazing afternoon touring their five galleries, including one dedicated to the Royal Flying Doctors Service - something Greg has always had a passionate interest in. Imagine his delight when he got to pilot one of their planes!
We decided to stay on for the show and dinner so after finishing the galleries, we bought souvenirs and relaxed with beers at the Cattlemen's Bar and Grill. The show started at sunset and is performed by a stockman from Yackandandah (practically a local!) and he puts on a good show. Apparently he did "Australia's Got Talent" a few years ago! He sang and had the animals dancing and we enjoyed it very much.
Dinner followed and we swapped caravanning stories with our table companions over a Black Angus steak and it was a pleasant end to a really good day. We're now planning a early start tomorrow as it appears I have miscalculated how far our next stop is and that will require more driving than planned. On the road again.......!
