Outback Dan
Day 13 Lara Wetlands to Longreach- 135km
Leaving Lara was tough! After meeting a couple of families travelling with 3 kids in tow we exchanged details & promised to keep in contact.
Our day today involved exploring the town's along the Landsborough HWY, in particular Ilfracombe with its Machinery Mile, and bottle & gun collections.
We then rolled into Longreach-the 'Heart of Outback Qld', where you can't help but feel a tinge of Aussie pride. The unmistakable red & white livery of a Qantas Jumbo Jet dominates the skyline from km's away.
We took a dip at the local pool before setting up camp in Camden Station- a cattle station owned by Dan- what a character!
