BIG travel day today! Won't be able to upload photos I don't think because we are going to free camp at The Devils Marbles and there's bound to be no signal. We Have just turned left at the t intersection of Stuart highway and Barklay highway and are heading towards Alice springs. It's unusual to have any signal on the roads, only usually in towns, so I'll make the most with just a small post so everyone knows we are still around!

We left Mt Isa about 9 am after stocking up with groceries. Very good food prices in Mt Isa, best we've had since we left!

We didn't get to say goodbye to mein hosts at Argyllia as the office wasn't opened. 😞 They were so lovely I wanted to thank them for their hospitality. If you're ever in isa pop in!

So it was pretty much flat grass most of the wat. We stopped in Camooweal which is the end of the longest Main Street in the world! It's a suburb of Mt Isa and the main st is188 k's long! The pub is famous for Mick Dundee apparently!

On the border we saw a

Iron bark for stumps!

bunch of blokes going pig shooting. They were from Victoria. Rob took their photo fir them!

More travel, wedge tailed Eagles galore! Stopped at Barklay homestead, it's a beautiful oasis in the middle of nowhere and nowhere! Had a lovely chat with a beautiful cockatoo in a cage. He was showing off and dancing!

Rob was enjoying the drive so he decided to push on to the Devils marbles. We are just getting fuel at Tennant creek so I'll see if I can post photos before we run out of signal
