Had a great time at the wombats. if you hit him on a week end he might take you for a spin in his, I`ll leave there but lets say TasLucas would be jealous.
And watch out lucas I`m over for a while so I`ll be dropping in.

Great read again Cuppa, I have only stayed in Pooncarie for work and I would leave the pub while dark in the morning and return when dark in the evening so only got to see the pub.
Belated happy 60th Cuppa.
You now have made me regret not staying there .
Happy birthday young fella, and may you enjoy many more.
As TCP say`s great read looking forward to the next chapter.

@Cuppa,this is probably no use to you now or maybe in the future...but when we are camping in near desert country,and are atleast forwarned of rain..we do this from our camp to the fire,here's a pic of one of our wet paths to campfire,,we camped in a group of four and all did this to each camp,great idea and saving tryong to walk ski slip everywhere after a bit of rain
good to see you enjoying it all
What a great idea if planning to stay put in wet weather. A bit of work, but would make a big difference!
Hey Cuppa, I have been reading your blogs and love them, but also am getting so frustrated seeing you out there doing the stuff I yearn to do also. Congrats to you and the wife to getting so successfully to this point in your life to be able to roam about and really absorb and enjoy this great country and people. I will continue following your journey with interest if only to lower my spirits and feel more dejected than i normally do!!! Good luck and safe travels.
Echo Phil's comments above Cuppa. Super jealous mate and it's so great to see people living their long term dreams!

X3 Cuppa..love ya not so work....
Great stuff again Cuppa, I plan to get ideas from where you go for places to stay on my back from the Cape next year.
Great read Cuppa, and you told us you were unsure you`d have time or enough to write about. Bloody hell mate I`ve worn my eyes out. Little hint. if you see a phone box out side a town, say close to town where you have had or can not get reception. Stand close to it or in it and see if you get reception. I`ve gotten reception a number of times this way.first time was by accident as the phone went off just as i walked past it, so then on have tried it and some times not always it works.
Happy and safe travels guys.
THanks for the feedback folks.
Winnie, maybe try again, we tested the 'subscribe' thing & it worked ok, & I now have 70+ subscribers & no others reporting any problem. If I could fix it for you I would, but don't tink I can do anything. Sorry. Anyone else had troublwe with it?
Planning to post more updates tomorrow (Sunday). I'll post here when done.
We are now just outside Quilpie, Qld, & heading to Windorah on Monday.
That's okay mate, I'll try again and if it doesn't work I'll just use your reminders here.

Im pretty close to you mate, only about an inch on the map[emoji16] we're south of surfers for a fortnight [emoji322][emoji322]

It's probably gonna become like Surfers around here in the next week or two with the hoardes of Birdsville race goers crowding out the region leading up to & following the races at the beginning of September. All the hoons travelling at a rate of knots, throwing up their rocks & dust.Quote:

Would've been heading down that way now, except we first want to catch up with some friends who are on their way south from Longreach, probably in Windorah or Jundah.
Plenty good spots around innamincka Cuppa , wish we had gone a bit further along the walkers crossing track there are some good spots on the cooper creek .Quote:

Arrived at Windorah today - well almost. Just set up camp on Cooper's Creek not to far from the road bridge & 12kms east of town. Nice spot.
Anyone have an recommendations for things to see/do whilst here? We'll be here a few days with two lots of friends arriving to join us tomorrow.
Already the roads & camp spots have plenty of folk travelling to Birdsville for the races in a couple of weeks time. Most are very courteous on the road but we reckon it'll get pretty crazy over the next fortnight. We're hoping to avoid most of it, just haven't quite worked out a travel strategy to do that yet though! Not interested in going to the races, we'll go to Innamincka via Birdsville & Walkers Crossing after the races before heading across to Fraser Island sometime in September.
Yeah, yeah yeah - rub it in Cuppa
Hope the entrance to walkers crossing is in better shape at the Birdsville track end , long deep and slippery mud hole when we were there .
Remember the Wyandra free camp and the ownerless old dog Sally that was all but blind .
Love reading your exploits Cuppa and learning of these new spots .
We might see you in our travels along the way somewhere, we'll be passing through Birdsville heading East sometime around the 4th September after doing the Madigan line. Then we will be on Fraser from the 11th-16th September. Qld school holidays start on the 16th I think, so we will be leaving Fraser as the crowds arrive and heading back home via Alice/West Macs etc.Quote:
