This is a little place called McKinlay on the road from Cloncurry to Winton. The pub is called Crocodile Dundee’s.
Occasionally you see crosses like this on the side of the road signifying where someone came to grief. This one is for Ed the “Singing Shearer”.
This IS a WIDE load. It is an ore truck for a mine. It covered more than half the width of the road. It has a vehicle in front and behind warning the traffic that it is approaching. There was only room for a motorbike to get past so I’m not sure what they do when a four wheel vehicle comes along. Probably pull it over on the narrow hard shoulder.
Our answer to the rock formations in Arizona!!!
Winton is dinosaur central. There are all sorts of tours to follow the dinosaur trail etc. The garbage bins in the CBD are dinosaur feet!!! This monster was in the caravan park we stayed in.
We found out that there was a free concert in the town put on by the Queensland government in support of cultural diversity. It was held in the Winton Royal Open Air Theatre an outdoor cinema where the audience sat in deck chairs. The group were very good. There were musicians from India, Zimbabwe, China, South America, Samoa and Australia. They played instruments from their particular part of the world and accompanied each other with great skill.
