Our real Outback Adventure has begun.
David, our driver until we a arrive in Longreach was left-off very lightly, with only 12 suitcases to load. Most of our previous drivers would warn him that numbers will increase!
Our first stop was Kilkivan where we found the Left Bank Cafe. Good coffee and very nice macadamia slice, plus lots of interesting things to look at, including fabric! This charming little town had a little local museum, but unfortunately we had no time to visit.
Then it was up and over the Bunya Mountains to the wide open spaces. A quick stop for fuel in Dalby and we're on the road again. Flat, flat, flat. 50kms of straight road ahead, then another 200kms and we should be in Roma.
Ace Drapery - what a treat. Allan and his team stayed back a bit late, just for us. Like I said, "what a treat"!
1st Golf Course!
Up and over the Bunya 'Mountains'.
Lots of spindly dry grass and that rich red Australian soil.
L-o-n-g straight roads, with lots of dead wallabies & kangaroo.
Sun was getting ready to set as we drove into Roma.
And down it went!
Ace Drapers, Roma. Amazing!
Metres and metres of every fabric you can imagine. Some of them are a little dated, but still some amazing stuff.
Bedding, dinner sets, table linens, plastic containers, pots and more. A must see!
