14th August
Had a lovely night at this free camp at Corella Dam, just west of Cloncurry.
We arrived around lunchtime and just spent some time lapping up the sunshine and warm weather, after the cold snap we had in Longreach.
Later in the afternoon, we got the bikes off the van and went for an explore over to Clem Walter Park. The road was a great BMX track for the boys and the views along the way were lovely and there’s also a beautiful river over there.
We also had great sunset colours on the surrounding rocky hills, a beautiful moon rise and our best fire of the trip so far.
Today on our way heading west, we stopped in at Mt Isa to stock up on groceries and fill the tanks with water. We were blown away by the fact that the mine is literally right in the middle of the town…
