Look who we met in Longreach! (My mum and dad, for those who don't know them). The kids (and us) were very excited to meet up with Granny and Grandad. We spent time at the Stockman's Hall of Fame, the Qantas museum, and the RM Williams muster which was in town. We also went for a cruise on the Lincoln River which was lovely. The van park wasn't too flash, red gravel everywhere without a blade of grass or a tree. Not much fun in 35 deg temperatures.
So today we're in Emerald (coal mining town, Central Qld), and heading to Airlie Beach tomorrow. Can't wait to see the coast. I'm a bit sad that the 'country' aspect of our trip will be ending. But very glad to think of the prospect of a decent coffee. Australia's a big country alright, with a lot of very bad coffee out there. I could probably make a fortune opening a chain of decent cafes in outback places.
