10th August
Last night we stopped in Emerald, on our way to Longreach, and we literally camped under the railway bridge.
It was a great little free camp, at the Botanical Gardens, right in the middle of town.
It was a good chance to stock up on groceries and phone reception for a night.
We also met up with a lovely family travelling in the opposite direction. We enjoyed a few drinks with the parent, while the kids played board games
The scenery was dry, flat grassland. Heading into Emerald was mainly cattle country and from Emerald to Longreach we followed the railway line.
