Wednesday 4th July - Thursday 5th July - Driving to Birdsville

After leaving Longreach we headed as far south as we felt and stopped at a tiny little town called 'Stonehenge.' (There were no famous rocks there that i knew of!) We had a cold night but the girls and I managed to get a quick shower which was nice.
We had a magic sunset.

We continued on down towards to Birdsville the next day.

We drove along the roads which were sealed and unsealed. We saw a few points of interest along the way including some original native wells and a jump up called Deano’s Lookout which afforded us some amazing views of the area.

As evening approached we decided to stop at an abandoned town called Betoota. A guy called Ziggy ran the pub in town and was the sole resident. When he died in 1997 the pub was closed and the towns population went from 1 to 0! It was a bit windy so we used the pub as a windbreak which helped to protect us a bit.

It was another cold night in the desert!
