Having some fun out on the property of Phill and Ricky Walker. We get to ride some horses, muster some cattle and play with the many dogs who just love a tennis ball!
When we arrive at Longreach Jake finds the nearest skate park. The result is that he turns on his ankle and needs crutches!! We visit the amazing Stockmans Hall of Fame and its fantastic!! Great place to go. The show we saw was very entertaining!
Digging and scratching around for opals at Opalton. Its like the Lightening Ridge of QLD. We find little bits of opal to keep everyone keen to find bigger pieces - however its just the small ones that keep Tim and the kids busy.
Tim and Jake also pot a pig on the way back to Winton as we enjoy this beautiful sunset!
The Dinosaur Stampede 100 kilometres outside of Winton showcases the footprints of a dinosaur stampede that has been uncovered and preserved for us to enjoy! Wow.
We stop in Winton on our way to Longreach. It is the place where Banjo Patterson penned Waltzing Matilda and now the home of the musical fence! The kids have a bash and it sounds as bad as it looks!!
We travel from Townsville along to Charters Towers, to Hughenden - where we get a coffee at the FJ Holden Cafe and get a photo with "Mutt" the dinosaur!
