13th - 14th September: Injune

Left Lonesome this morning and headed into Injune for supplies, washing and catch up!  We camped right next to the river and tried to get some red claw to no avail.  The manager of the park is a bit of a case he has all these remote control toys, boats, planes, helicopters, cars etc as well as miniature bikes.  Friendly people, clean amenities, very accommodating.  Injune is a new Coal Gas mining town and the money is pouring into the town - Brand new visitor centre, library etc new Spar, new accommodation places, new youth centre.  All the vehicles around town carry the mines red flag - lots of money here folks.  Great Jam drops and free tea/coffee at the visitor centre.  Great old pub.  Again frogs, birds, wild flowers prolific after the rains.  The locals advise it is most unseasonal!   Ants devoured this brown snake almost in a day....

  1. Double storey tent, muddy feet, in the middle of nowhere, how's that fun?

    Cactus is not brekky - Eggs Benedict is brekky - and drinking dirty river water does not hold a candle to a fine shiraz!

    Australians have paid heaps in taxes for roads to be made so we will honour their contribution by making use of them.

    If ever you finish your walkabouts and get back to civilisation give us a call for a catch up!

    Luv n stuff Paul & Janet xx
