Through August we had we had 4 weeks off so went for a drive. Left Gladstone and then to Emerald that night after work, then to Winton and to Larks Dinosaur Quarry staying at Old Cork ruins, then down the O'Donoghue and Plenty Highway, onto the Stuart up to Katherine and then across to Broome. Took 4 1/2 days to get there.
Red line is the track off my GPS
Spent some time in Broome visiting Cape Leveque and then Barnhill Station
Started heading home so back towards Hall Creek and then down the Tanami Rd staying at Wolf Creek, mind Karen wasnt real happy about opeining the couple of gates at night.
Called into Lamberts Centre (geographic centre of Aust)
Took a couple of days getting down this road and into Alice Springs. Out to Ayers Rock.
Karen has her 50th watching the sunrise here and then to get the car into 4wd down to Mt Dare.
From here across the Simpson via the French Line, Poepells Cnr and the QAA line into Birdsville.
Birsdsville to Brisbane to visit one of our boys and home to Gladstone via the Trayon factory to have a look at something.
Just under 4 weeks and 11,600km.
