More pain for Daisy.

140 km south of Charters Towers another Skippy hell bent on suicide dashed across the road while I was warily slowing down and watching another Skippy on the roadside.
The cracked bumper meant not caring a bit about the mark I'd put on it at Walgett.
It broke the fog light mounts but I'll fix it back again later despite them not being something I ever use.

Fun at Capella.

Little things like this add to a journey and despite the downturn in regional Australia the charm has increased.

Nice.

Springsure.

Olivia poses with Virgin Rock, an image of Virgin Mary is in the alcove of the rock behind her, however erosion over the years has meant more imagination is needed.

Something for the boys, this lovely tractor was in that rest stop.

I think I can see the reason it was donated.

High point of the trip.

North of Injune we managed to get a few metres higher than we'd managed on the southbound leg.

Crossing the divide.

The bleak sky may be poor for photographs but it made for a very comfortable drive on a day we would have had the sun in our face all day.

Roma.

Olivia posing with a bottle tree, they're very common in Roma.

Near Surat.

A lovely spot to stretch our legs. This was a rare bit of sunshine in was was a bleak cloudy and sometimes rainy day, definitely not conducive to taking photos.
