Day Five ( Layday) & Day Six
four good tyres ready to rol, the “HQ” washed and seemed
to be ready for the journey to Barcaldine, although we did have
a fair afternoon session at the pub ending in dinner with a band
at the showgrounds.
Day six saw Baz make it to the drivers seat after a quiet
layday drivin with style and dodging the mass of
kangaroos all over the road.
Lunch today saw us visit one of the most amazing
towns, i was so small and remote with a population of
just 24! The hotel was
was out host for lunch. The cowgirl demo of cattle mustering was great.
Off for more dust and more “Q” vibrating. We have done 2700 kms
so far and worked out theair conditioning wworks properly on the
second switch!!
A quick dinner ( roast) at the showgrounds. With no mobile service
we returned to the cabin for more!
Our good friends the mecedes boys in cars #450 and #420
finally arrived at Barky at 8.30pm after Mick (owner 420) bribed
car #450 with $2,500 to remain behind them all day otherwise #450
wold have to pay $5,000, “i’ts for the kids” ( as they say). We made an
attempt at bribery on Day 3 with $50.00 to make cars #420 & #450 start
from the back of the field only to have them make us start 3rd last by paying $100.
“It’s for the kids”
Day Seven sees us off to Emerald.
