Eulo to Windorah

As I awake to another overcast day in the outback my mind flicks back to the previous evenings antics I just shudder. After a big breakfast at the quaint Eulo pub we hit the road again. Passing the mud baths we all look at one another and just  laugh. Hoping to find some black roads today as we never saw any yesterday, here's hoping as we are on a express run to Windorah some 600 to the north west. With the early morning sun at our backs we head for Thargomindah about 160 kms away to see the thermal power generator in operation, but to our dismay it's buggered so no history lesson today. As we strike north toward Quilpie i find since my last visit to this region more bitumen has been added to this horrid road so it's time to to let the big ford loose for a while. Our arrival at the Tompine hotel is welcomed with a cool drink, Quilpie being next stop for lunch . The long lonely road to Windorah is a mind numbing experience which you all should experience at least once in your life, the main survivors in this area are FLYS yes they are here in their millions  of them. Arriving at Windorah the temperature is 36c and more flys , again greeted by no phone service which means no blog. Coopers cabins are a welcome relief in this outback oasis and our cabins are spotless, the restaurant run by the owners is first class with beautiful meals and a great selection of Australian wines so we invest the sponsorship money into sampling some of their collection. The travel weary boys retire but far from defeated have a nightcap before retiring to bed in this very tranquil location.....WADDA
