Day 26 – Longreach to Winton

We were up early for breakfast, pack up the van, showers and then hit the road. We stopped for coffee at the Morella rest area.

Further along the highway a Policeman pulled us over for a breath test!! All OK.

Another stop and then on to Winton where we checked into the Matilda Country Caravan Park.

We had some lunch and then drove into town for a long walk to check out the pubs and shops. We walked along Arnos Wall, which is full of all sorts of bits and pieces including car and bike parts, furniture and even the kitchen sink. We bought a Serpentine Jasper pendant and matching earrings at the Opal shop in Winton.

We also checked out other caravan parks and would consider staying at the Tatts Hotel Caravan Park IF we could get a drive through site with water and power.

We picked up some light beers and returned to the van for a rest.

The Caravan Park is pretty full but we have a good spot, although we are next door to a BP Roadhouse which had a couple of B-triples full of smelly cattle parked there for their break. Phew!!

We had dinner in the van and an early night, lulled to sleep by the sound of shuffling, mooing cattle.
