Windorah to Kynuna

Up and about early for some , the road to Bedourie is still closed so the trip will be re routed via Longreach and Cloncurry, the 300 kms to Longreach will take in 2 isolated towns called Stonehenge and Jundah .  After a couple of hours in Longreach we push on ,the trip to Cloncurry is about 550 kms so we decide to head for this far flung place, a quick stop at Winton and the journey continues. Driving into the setting sun takes its toll at Kynuna so we seek shelter for the night at the pub. We settle on the price for the night in this flyblown insect ridden poverty pack hotel,as few more weary travelers pull into this lonely place I dont feel so bad ,fed and watered we wander back to the luxury section of this lonely place and open my door and enter the wide world of insects .After a couple of quick night caps I retire, not long into planned sleep find i am not alone ,yes miss preying mantis is also sharing my space so after a flick and a kick she didn't bother me again.Next morning early we flee this overpriced insect infested hellhole, with empty stomachs we head for Cloncurry still some 180kms away. Hit Mt Isa around lunch time the temperature is hovering around 36c so we get a early check in and hit the pool .Off to the Buffs club for dinner WADDA snags a prize in the raffle the Maggies pip the Tiges in the footy things just got a whole lot better ...........WADDA
