Day19 (Tue-11-Aug); Winton to Windorah

Good day today. Visted the Lark Quarry Conservation Park thismorning and saw the marvellous building they've constructed there to cover and protect the dinosaur stampede footprints discovered there. Then it was a long, remote drive through changing scenery to Windorah.

Highlights from today (Tue-11-Aug):
- The marvellous building at Lark Quarry; housing a superb display of dinosaur footprints. A lot of money, thought & effort has gone into this park and it was great to see our taxes put to such good use
- bizarre ancient servo with blind, very old attendant at Windorah (had to tell him how much fuel we'd filled, what it cost and how much cash we'd handed over, so he could work out the change
- campsite fees just $5 at Windorah caravan park
- Mild evening; no jumpers required
- Red chicken curry & rice; yummy but too hot for Techo to finish

Lowlights:
- noisy overnight at Winton (cattle & trucks)
- the Windorah 'caravan park' looks much better at night in the dark then during the day; but the amenities are good

Tomorrow we'll head toward Burke & Wills' Dig Tree on the Cooper Creek near Innamincka.

Tosh & Techo.
