Cobbold Gorge to Navarre

With the tyres on the Ford still giving us some grief we make the decision to stick to the bitumen, this will add about 400 kms to our first stop at Hughenden. Our journey takes us out through Mt Suprise then on to Charters Towers ,grab some supplies in this major centre before heading back out into the outback again. Saturday night in Hughenden is a quiet affair and it's early to bed, next day we head to Longreach. Kevin has a mate in town so we catch up with him for dinner at the Birdcage and a good time was had by all. Terry has missed the bus to Emerald by a day so we head to Barcaldine some 120kms to our east and let him try to hitchhike, no luck so his son covers the last 300kms to collect him. We head back to Navarre station to spend the night with John&Shealia Back,it's not long before we head off on the grand tour of this vast property. Arriving back at the homestead John test his guests on the shooting range, yes from pistol shooting to clay targets we had a crack at it all . Let's just say the current fishing champion is definitely not the shooting champion, the results were to close to call so no winner was declared. Gotta go .........WADDA
