Woke to a dewy morning at Undara, headed off on a looong drive through uninspiring countryside to arrive in Winton. We set up camp in one of the caravan parks and watched as the park filled with vehicles and people in preparation for the local Rodeo next weekend.
Highlights from today (Mon-10-Aug):
- Iced coffee with the very friendly roadhouse cockatoo at The Lynd Junction Oasis roadhouse
- great lookout over the deep Porcupine Gorge, carved deep into the plains by the Porcupine river, north of Hughenden
- seeing our first ever Muttaburrasaurus in Hughenden
- finding the "shuffle" function on the iPod, so we didn't have to make decisions on what to listen to
Lowlights:
- the uninspiring scenery
- the narrow, chopped-up, patched bitumen "track" between Hughenden & Winton
- Tosh conceding that shock absorbers will need to be replaced when we get home (they've gone very 'soupy')
- smelly Artesian water in Winton caravan park showers
Tomorrow we will visit the dinosaur footprints preserved at Lark Quarry, then either pop over to Longreach or continue south toward Windorah (we'll see how we feel in the morning...)
