LONGREACH... The home of QANTAS

We camped at the Longreach caravan park for 2 nights.
The WOOLSHED was the restaurant and entertainment was on the premises and it was a great night of fun, music, food, stories and laughter..

Stockman turned singer entertains nightly - cracks a few jokes

Olly the Brahman and Henry the collie assist in the entertainment





We were sitting at our campsite and had this visitor. A BROLGA...
A funny story ... We had some loudmouth know it alls camped behind us. You all know the ones I mean... Well, they didn't know too much as they kept talking about this bird, over and over again. 
"what do you think of the FLAMINGO. ISNT THE FLAMINGO PRETTY."
We laughed. We will remember this time for a long time to come.

Longreach is the home of QANTAS airlines.
It was fascinating to walk through and look at all this history and where it all began.


Had a walk through the STOCKMANS HALL OF FAME.
It was very interesting to see all the old tools and stories of how life was.



Sitting at our campsite having morning coffee and the entertainer comes riding through on his bull to say "HI"
How comfortable is that.
