It was ten and a half degrees when we drove out of Barkly Homestead Caravan Park at eight thirty this morning. By nine thirty we'd reached the Lake Eyre Basin. It felt strange to be here after our recent trip to Lake Eyre. In an odd sort of way, I guess we've almost come full circle, yet not really.
As you can see from the above photograph, there's not much on the Barkly Highway.

Then suddenly, in the middle of nowhere, a police station. (If driving west, this is the first establishment sighted as you cross the Queensland to Northern Territory border...what a wonderful greeting!
As we crossed the border to Queensland, there's not much change to the scenery.
Arrived in Camooweal, just in time for lunch, and to queue up for petrol! Two hundred and sixty seven kilometres from Barkly Homestead and one hundred and eighty eight to go!
When we arrived at Mount Isa this afternoon, being Sunday, we found it closed. Luckily, the caravan parks remain open and we were lucky to get one of the last remaining spots for the night.
