We towed the van a total of 68 km today, back to Aramac, and set up in the Aramac Campground. On the drive from Lake Dunn to Aramac, we saw not one single vehicle, person, just a few cattle and kangaroos.
After a cuppa, we headed into town on the bikes and rode a total of about 5.5 km. We checked out the White Bull, the Tramway Museum, and the Harry Redford Gallery. Harry was a stockman in QLD when he decided he wanted to be rich, so stole some cattle and drove them to South Australia (about 2,000km to sell; if he had treid to sell them in QLD they wojld have been recognised as being stolen and Harry would have been in big trouble. One of the cattle he stole was a big white bull, hence the town of Aramac has white bulls everywhere. They have names such as shoppabull (shop), learnabull (school), princibull (boss of the school), transportabull (transport company), trainabull (tram museum), postabull (post office), etc, outside each of the places of interest in town.
Back to the van for lunch then an LLD before Greg hitt he road again on the bike; (26km) he headed out on the Infracombe road, and saw "not much at all", whilst Wendy did some washing, reading and blogging.
Went to the Aramac Hotel for dinner which was excellent; a typical outback Queensland pub. The pub even had a notary tonight - Stirling Hinchcliffe.
