Had not posted any of the pictures of Hughenden. From Hughenden to Winton where we stayed overnight. The water here ciomes from a very deep well so miles away and is hot when it comes out and has to be cooled. It smell like rotten eggs and tastes about the same , was told if you drink it very cold it is good, but brushing your teeth was bad enough.
Winton is on the dinosaur trail and opal is also found here.
Then on to Longreach the gateway to the outback. Qantas Founders Museum and to have a look around. Very interesting history. Stayed overnight at a very nice park.
Leaving Longreach we went to the Lily Lagoon a water hole which is feed by the Thomson River system, where we saw some pelicans. Travelling back through Winton and on to McKinley she we stayed over night and had an enjoyable evening talking to a couple of firefighters from Hughenden who were on their way to Birdsville. This is the pub for the movie Crocodile Dundee.
In the morning it was off after breakfast to Mount Isa with a short stop in Cloncurry.
Still very dry and there will probably not be any rain until the end of November now.
