Travel plan changed again 2015

These back roads are great, the passing scenery changes constantly, I had a mob of kangaroos bounding by on my right so I broke into song, 6 white boomers, snow white boomers, racing santa clause through the blazing sun.......then I realise the crash cam camera is recording sound secretly so I laughingly shut myself up. I love being our here, not to much traffic, of course there are big trucks but just keep an eye out for them and move over enough for them not to have to hit the dirt and have stones thrown up when they pass.
I keep Nicki in view in the rear view mirror and far enough behind me that there is plenty of room between us to give motorists space and not have them over take her then find they have to overtake again to quickly. I like at least 600 mtrs or even more between our motor homes.
  

So its Wednesday and we're in Sarat, we fill the tanks for $1.34 per ltr, the cheapest price so far on this trip.
Surat is Cobb & Co town, the last horse drawn coach left here in 1924 with the last trip being between Surat and Yuleba at a distance of 75kl. At the hight of Cobb& Co they were running 3000 horses at a total of around 10,000 miles a week. 

Mmmm! it's bit unusual for us to see a horse and rider on the town footpath while we have a cuppa and cake at the local store. We were considering our camp spot and decided on 'The Fishing and Restocking Club Park' just over the Balonne river, a gold coin donation and a fairly large level area with a clean loo's and water.

I find it easy to strike up a conversation with fellow campers while wandering around in the late afternoon when they are setting up or have their fires going. I take my camera with me and I tell them I am gathering many photos of choofers', it's a conversation starter if nothing else. I often get comical prompts like "Na! ya can't caus I have a patent on this one" or "it'll cost ya"  I'm always amazed at the variety/design of the ingeniously wielded pieces for different types of cooking. This one is kinda special.

 
Before leaving camp I was directed by "Na! its patented" to a spot about 1/2 kl out of town where I would find plenty of timber that was left behind after the wood mill closed down.  There were dozens of large white bags left on both sides of the dirt track. Loading up as much as I thought was ok for the rear carry box and Nicki also collected some wood for the spare space she had.

We have decided that we will be as far north as we want to go when we pass through Roma and Charleville and have made our final south westerly destination as "The Burke and Wills Did Tree" Yey!! I'm a happy vegemite.
