Day 2 Bourke to Barcaldine Qld

---

---

Well what a very exciting day. We started driving at 6 am from Bourke. We knew there would be some issues with Kangaroos on the road for the first few hours. Well this is an understatement. I nearly hit three or four Kangaroos and I am talking only metres away from each one. All of them crossed in front of me while we were driving at100 km an hour. I had to prise my hands free from the steering wheel after those first hours. Plenty of emus and also hawks and eagles. My sister and eh husband hit an eagle with their windscreen. Also the road trains which have three large trailers each with twelve wheels. So scary to pass them. Paul's Troopy went really well (this is the one that Paul and I had been working on including taking the engine out). I also ran over a bloated kangaroo that had been hit the day before or so. When they are dead that long they bloat up. I ran over it and the kangaroo blew up and the underside of Troopy was a mess with smelly Kangaroo parts. Yuk, Yuk, Yuk. I will get Tonina to clean it up. Hahahaha

Also see the map for our trip today. Tomorrow we travel 1000kms to end up in cairns qld
