Tibboburra to Eulo Via Reola






Up early to catch the famous Tibboburra sunrise but I've been duded again, yes it is overcast and raining but still very warm. The time is 7.45am and the rebels are yet to rise I wonder what could be the problem, maybe to much honky tonk. The time is near when I'll speak to these boys about the rules of outback travel, which are don't go to hard to early. There is still a long way to go on this outback adventure, on departure from Tibboburra we notice a women in her wedding dress on the balcony of the pub so stop to take some happy snaps. We head east some 300kms on the some of the roughest roads I have encountered and we call this fun .Some180 kms down down the road from hell we spot a sign pointing to Reola station ,as we drive another 28 kms to the south and arrive at the biggest shearing shed you would ever see . On meeting the owner of this huge sheep station who then gives us a guided tour of this vast shearing shed we were somewhat impressed, we continue heading east till we arrive at Wanaring for a lunch stop with no food available we settle for a ice cream . To the north lies Hungerford smack bang on the NSW ,,,,,,QLD boarder , road conditions have gotten worse but we push on. Arriving at the boarder Paul opens the gates and we begin the last 130kms to Eulo, our attraction to this very small QLD town is its mud baths. Accomadation at the EULO QUEEN hotel is fine so we head to the mud baths for some pampering , with 4 naked men bathing together and having a glass of red by the open fire let your mind wander ,it was not a pretty site. We head back to the pub for dinner and a well earned early night, maybe some meditation before we hit the sack as we ready ourselves for another day in the beautiful outback.....WADDA
