After breaking camp, we got food and fuel in Tibooburra. I got brave and tried a coffee. As my expectations were so low, it wasn't too bad. The vegetables were a disgrace so I gave them a wide berth. Here we come Cameron's Corner!
As you can see we had to pass through a wild dog proof fence to get from NSW to South Australia and QLD. The same sort of fence is in place between NSW and QLD, but apparently they don't like you to go directly between those States, SA has to get involved. We bought some mediocre hot chips as a treat at The Corner Store, which is in QLD, a state we didn't expect to visit. So we only miss Tasmania and the A.C.T.
Here we all are in three different states at once.
We passed the yellow bus on the way to Innamincka, via Moomba. In the middle of nowhere, it reminded me of the bus Christopher McCandless lived in when he went wild in Alaska.
Another long drive, nearly went the wrong way as the generous two lane road deteriorated immediately after an intersection. Only one lane wide and extremely corrugated, we doubted ourselves. After 10 minutes of trailer backing practice by yours truly, we tried the other road option only to reject that for going in the wrong direction. Maps can be a little misleading at times. We went past the Santos Moomba natural gas plant whose Internet we will use to upload this blog entry when we return past there in a few days. We are off to Burke and Wills tragedy territory.
