Day 14: Tue 4 May - Winton

17-32 degC, dry, fine and sunny, with a persistently annoying wind

Not much to tell today. Wendy spent the morning at work, whilst Greg rode out to the Bladensburg National Park where he saw an abandoned shearing shed and homestead. About 46 km later and he was back home ready for lunch. He said the landscape was very barren and harsh.

We did a spot of grocery shopping this afternoon, and I guess out here, one has to live with what one can buy. The fresh fruit and vege was consigned to a small corner in the small supermarket, but at least we mamanged to get some fresh stuff. Having just come out of two long weekends in a row, perhaps they were still waiting on their delivery. Anyway, we will never starve as there is always a pub!

We were going to stay another day/night, however, this wind is driving both of us a tad crazy, so onwards we move tomorrow, hopefully to Boulia.

  1. Not much shelter from the wind where you camped in Winton!!?? We stayed at a hotel in Winton (2019) and saw a very well done rendition of a few of Banjo's best.
