Day 139 - Elliot to Barkly Homestead

---

We pulled up stumps at Longreach near Elliot after a very pleasant stay knowing that we had other things to do.

We drove through the town of Elliot before deciding to return and fill up with diesel - the next fuel stop was 200 kilometres away!

We drove down to Three Ways and then decided to continue on to Tennant Creek (about twenty kilometres further south) to do some shopping. We needed some groceries (and a new tap). Our old tap fitting got left behind at Katherine Gorge.

After restocking we filled up the bus with diesel at a very reasonable price and headed back up to Three Ways where we turned right on to the Barkly Highway and pointed the bus towards Queensland!

After a very full day we arrived at Barkly Homestead - an oasis in the middle of nowhere. It's a great spot to stop - it has fuel, a caravan park out the back and a bar and restaurant out front. There is a small shop too. Everything a traveller might need.

Very few stops today so no photos.
