Day 32 - Cunnumulla to Eulo

 It was my Dad’s birthday today so we had a bottle of bubbles around the campfire to honour him. This morning was pack up time so we were all busy with the rigmarole that goes with that, which for me, included a quick trip to town to pick up the bread we had ordered yesterday because most bakeries in this part of the world don’t seem to bake wholemeal bread!

We were on the road by just after 9:30am for the 64km drive to Eulo. We suspected the free camp here might be quite busy with people getting ready to go into the music festival so we wanted to get a spot early. A quick stop in the thriving metropolis of Eulo (which has a pub, a general store, a museum, a giftwares shop, an airport and a one man police station) before we headed to this spot on the banks of the Paroo River. Although we didn’t get a spot overlooking the river, we did find a decent spot and were set up for elevenses in the sun. It seemed cooler than the last few days but then the sun got really warm. We didn’t think one night warranted us putting up our temporary gazebo in lieu of our awning so instead we rolled out the car awning - after all, the idea is to try and use everything on every trip or why carry it?! It was a pleasant day reading and chilling in the sun, preparing  the fire, collecting more firewood and other exciting activities until the fire was lit and we enjoyed dinner around it, listening to more music!
