From the Mount to Mataranka.

Australia is a big country - and we took it easy - about 240 kms/day.

Avon Downs, Barkly Homestead, Attack Creek and Newcastle Waters provided respite on the way. The scenery changed along the way - from Mitchell Grass to scrub and back again.The township of Newcastle Waters, once a thriving centre where North-South stock routes crossed and drovers gathered was another place worthy of a visit.

Don't expect to be served any time soon.
This poor bloke has been waiting at Jones' General Store for years, and the petrol bowsers don't work anymore either!
