Date: 24-25th May 2021<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Travelled: 85 kms from Ilfracombe to Barcaldine  <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visited: Barcaldine, Outback Queensland.  <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stayed: Homestead Caravan Park, $26, all services.\u00a0S23.55528, E145.28374<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Budget: 45 days @ $144 per day.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We make an early start this morning. We arrived at this huge rest-stop about 8.30 last night so we couldn\u2019t see much other than a caravan parked further over. This morning in the light of day we can see picnic benches and bins scattered across this huge parking area as well as several other campers parked amongst the surrounding trees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ilfracombe looked interesting as we passed through so once we pack up we drive back a couple of kms into town. Pam goes for a walk and I go and inspect the machinery museum that line the highway through town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
