Winton to Cloncurry

Another day, another caravan park, and (so they said) we were able to get the second last powered site.  However others continued to arrive after us.  We had a swim in the pool, very cold, very refreshing, sat in the shade and caught up on emails.  Welcome Bethj as another of our followers!

The trip today was through more wide spaces and grassland, seeing cattle, some sheep, and later some ant hills. We had morning tea at Kynuna (at 11 a.m. a van was checking in for the night!) which consists of a pub, a fuel station, each with caravan spaces, and other places to park as you pass by.  We had lunch at McKinlay, made famous in the filming of Crocodile Dundee movie.  There is a small community, with a pub, fuel station, police, CWA, Library a few houses, a road to a mine, and a little park where we had lunch.  Here in Cloncurry, we just stayed and rested, dried the washing, listened to a woman country singer for about an hour and then had our barbeque (cooked by Roger) for dinner.  This computer takes up some time.

A few photos are added -  views of the jump-ups near here, a road train up to 55 mtrs, and the tea cosy.  I don't have a teapot in the van, so it has to keep Roger's head warm.
