Day 19

Left Mount Isa this morning and headed off to McKinlay - home of Walkabout Creek Hotel made famous in Crocodile Dundee.  The plan was to go and check that out and then head back along the dirt road (ughh, more red dirt) and back up to Richmond.  Unfortunately there had been some rain last night and there was already a truck and 2 cars stuck in the mud on that dirt road so we decided not to risk it.  Back the way we came then.... was a very long drive to go and get a beer!!  But was kind of cool.

Saw lots of interesting animals today - most of them dead.  Lots of kangaroos (still haven't seen a live one!), a pig (???), a fox, an eagle, an echidna, a snake and some rabbits.  Kids want to stop and look at them all  LOL!

It gets quite tiring in the car!!  This is about 10 minutes after we left Mount Isa this morning!

And again this afternoon!!

Through Julia Creek and didn't quite make it to Richmond - had been in the car for quite some time by this stage and we had all had enough.  We only just made it in to the rest stop though - very popular place!
