Machinery Mile

Ilfracombe (population 300)

Instead of staying at Longreach we opted to stay at Ilfracombe, just 30 kms shy of the home of the Stockman's hall of Fame. With the ancient machinery arranged north of the highway and surrounding two small museums, it was an interesting afternoon walk.

Throw in the information centre, which offered displays and videos about Wellshot Station and the Rush for Grass, together with some displays and a boundary riders hut, and nearby Langenbeker House, and it was a worthwhile place to pull in for a few nights.

Just in case the falcon doesn't make it we spotted an alternative vehicle that might come in handy.
