We don't need to bring bags with us to shopping! Man this is confusing for me. In Mt. Isa on Saturday we parked ready to go into Woolies and Baylee, Josiah and myself headed in forgetting about our bags. I stopped and said " Hang on I forgot the bags. " We turned to go back to the car and I realised with my lightening fast mind, we are in a new state! I don't know what the go is in this state. So we just stopped and watched someone come out of the shop. They had grey bags, so, that means we don't need to take bags in. So we walked in with no bags. We can find Farmers Union Ice Coffee too so it's looking good for the SA family here!
We left Mt. Isa and headed for the hills. It was quite hilly, rocky and dry. The next town was Cloncurry and again we hear about these towns on Imparja tv and Central 7 tv so it was great to go through them and see them and get a feel for the area. It is dry at the moment and quite isolated. Through Julia Creek and we started seeing horse trucks heading west. We knew that in 2 weeks time the Mt. Isa Rodeo was on but we thought that might be too long to wait around. Then we found out the next weekend the Cloncurry Rodeo was on but again that would b 7 days for that. So we assumed that these horse trucks were getting to Cloncurry early for the weekend. Then as we came into Richmond at the rodeo yards there, there were a lot of horses and trucks and people riding so we assumed again that maybe there was a horse clinic and people had been at that this weekend and then headed to Cloncurry. A lot of assuming on our part!
A lot of people wearing big hats around here too! Just very dry all the time we were travelling. Any cattle we saw were thin and didn't have much to eat in their huge paddocks. That night we camped in a free spot in between Richmond and Hughenden.
