Day 19 – Charleville to Blackall

We were up very early for showers etc and then packed up and hitched up and headed north up the Kidman Way. There was plenty of roadkill to be seen by the road. The highway was diverted before Augathella.

Lunch Break at Tambo

We stopped in Tambo by the lake for hot cheese and asparagus on muffins for lunch. We caught up with Nola and Ike who we had met at Charleville.

We then drove on to Blackall where everything was closed because of the Queen’s Birthday Holiday. After driving around town to see the sights, we set up the van at a very nice freecamp (Qld 684 – Barcoo River Camp Blackall). There were some great metal sculptures around the camp area including a large bird on a nest on a tall pole.

We were experiencing great weather so I cooked a BBQ dinner outside.

Today we had some issues with the batteries in the caravan, which is not good news when freecamping, but we coped OK.

This was a great spot and we would like to return here at some point in the future.
