A brisk SE breeze was blowing this morning as we packed up to head off to Windorah 250 klm NW from Quilpie, the last stop before Birdsville. The road was good, alternating between one and two lanes, with wide gravel shoulders that gives you plenty of room to pull off to allow road trains to have the black top. We were also quiet happy to pull off and wait for other vehicles to pass hoping they would stay on the black top saving us from flying stones when they have two wheels off on the gravel shoulder.
The caravan park here in Windorah is very basic but does have power and water for $15 a night, if you stay three you get the fourth free. We will be taking advantage of the free night as we are leaving the van here for two days while we head into Birdsville. We are booked into the new Birdsville Lodge that has only recently been completed, accommodation is at a peak in Birdsville when the Big Bash and the Races are held there annually. We enjoyed a drink in the pub this afternoon where we spoke with a guy that had stayed at the Lodge last night, he said we had made a good choice. Tomorrow we will get on the road nice and early for the 5 hour drive into Birdsville 380 klm, we have been told the road is in good condition, lets hope so.
