Out on the dirt again on the Buchanan Highway crossing the Alice Springs/Darwin rail line.
Then just over 100km further we hit the bitumen joining the Stuart Highway, just north of Dunmarra.
Refuel there at the friendly welcoming roadhouse with some historical photos and some pets – 3 snakes (pythons) and a couple of blue tongue lizards and a chat to the proprietor.
We stopped again just south of there to look at the Sir Charles Todd memorial and the Old Telegraph Line
Then onto the historical town of Newcastle Waters where we checked out old Jones’s Store and the Pub. We thought Harry would be interested in the comments on the attached information board about Harry the barman.
Just north of Elliot we were stopped by the police for a breath-test. We were turning off the highway to have a picnic lunch at the Longreach Waterhole, so we got breathalysed again as we came out again!!
The waterhole was pretty with plenty of bird life and green grass, a nice place to camp
We didn’t camp here though, we pushed on to Banka Banka Station where we camped on beautiful lush green grass and had warm showers.
We found out here what can be done with old baths
