Stuck in St George

A great spot for lunch and a few beers at the Nindigully pub just down the road from St George.
Kamarooka Tourist Park in St George in QLD.  We only intended staying for a few days until the owners asked if we would look after the park while they took a week off.  Why not give it a go we thought and here we are......
Our site at the caravan park.
Go tigers!!!  The gnome is back!

Red Dirt & Boxing


Left White Cliffs and hit the red dirt tracks towards Wanaaring.
Camped on the Paroo River in Wanaaring and threw in a few yabby pots.

The tranquil Paroo River.
Our first cook up of yabbies they were bloody tasty!

Through the dog fence and into Queensland.
A terrific old pub in Hungerford that sold cold xxxx.


Look what a little bit of  rain does.....



Tac (in Eulo) with his head underneath a rather large creature - not quite sure what it is??
We were lucky enough to be in Cunnamulla when the annual show was on and witnessed a few bouts in Fred Brophy's famous boxing tent.  Fred travels around outback Australia with a troupe of  boxers who challenge anyone in the crowd to have a go.  It was one of the most entertaining afternoons we have had in a long while - well worth the $20.

A bit of biffo!

The Cobb Hwy to White Cliffs

Fishing on the Murrumbidgee  River

White Cliffs pub

Happy miners!

Took the Cobb Highway to Hay on the Murrumbidgee River then on to Wilcannia.  Spent the last two days in White Cliffs - a small opal mining town.  Met some friendly locals and watched a few footy games in the pub.  We even tried our luck on the opal fields and had a bit of success.
