Sunday 4th August 2013 – Mount Isa to Longreach

Packed up, waved goodbye and hit the road for home.  The drive out of Mount Isa is quite interesting but this soon gave way to very flat and very dry country. 

 Quite a few emus along the way.

Stopped briefly at Cloncurry and lunch by the roadside.

Had intended to camp the night at Long Waterhole near Winton but were travelling pretty well so decided to push on to Lilly Lagoon out of Longreach.  We changed our mind on that one at about 5pm when the kangaroos on the road became a bit of a problem.  Ended up camping at a rest side stop about 30km from Longreach.  Plenty of room and places to get off the road.
