Diamantina River to Windorah - 246 kms.




This tiny house was once the towns Court House and is now a private home.
Our next stopover was the Windorah Rec Reserve.  Nice little town.  Good pub, servo, general store and info centre.   Took about 15 mins to do the town.    We actually had showers, toilets, power and green grass.  The grass wasnt for camping on - fake turf just around the rec centre.    But we finished our Disc Bowls Comp on this lovely stretch of grass.    It was a very big happy hour as we cheered on the teams as they played thru the semis and the finals.   It got down to Girls vs. Boys.    Three solo ladies, Mel/Shirley/Anne played a fantastic game and took off the Championship.   The results were level at the end of 6 rounds and the Captains then had  a playoff.     Anne had never played before, so that was an amazing feat for her.    This afternoon bought us all together in a very loud and cheerful manner.  Boys cheering boys, girls cheering girls, but deep down everyone wanted the girls to win.    It was a truly great afternoon on the Safari.   Got a great memento here from the lady at the Info Centre.   A nice big banner, depicting the Outback Races.   Gave her a donation to Charity.  Will look good in the shed, along with some race posters and of course our trophy.
