Camooweal to Burketown

We leave this small town which is so near the Northern Territory boarder you could you nearly kick a footy there, armed with far more knowledge of this small town and it's people than we ever imagined.These are the most down to earth people you would ever wish to meet, even though our time here was short my memories will linger for a long time to come. The locals became very interested in the journey of these 4 brothers inlaws from the south, footy was a major topic and anything else they thought of. One of these blokes was called Paul Finlay who not only knew the history of Camooweal but also the whos who of the people, after a few beers he invites us to his drovers camp museum on the edge of town. We arrange to meet the next morning at the site, the stuff Paul has collected is absolutely amazing. Time is now pushing our buttons so we depart this lonely little town headed for Burketown about 400 kms to our north, road conditions are pretty good for most of the trip even after 240 mil of rain a fortnight ago. Stopping off at the Gregory Downs hotel brings back a few memories for Paul and myself as we passed this way in2009 ,as we continue north toward Burketown some 120 kms further on the temperature continues to rise. Arriving at the Savannah Lodge the boys are impressed with this tropical haven and give it the thumbs up, so we chuck our stuff inside and head to the pool cos now it's stinken hot. After many hours in this place of pleasure it's off to have our evening meal at the Morning Glory restaurant, Barra  of course , tomorrow we head for the town of Karumba about 70 kms north of Normanton........Wadda
