More roadworks and single strip road. Although biggest wins is the rule, we get half off for oncoming traffic - when it is safe to do so: smooth bitumen edge and solid shoulder, not too much camber... You have to drive at a speed that you can slow enough to get safely off the bitumen - 'cos the rad trains don't slow or move. The bus has some cred, but you really don't want 100 wheels in the rocks and gravel going past at 100KPH...
We are eventually at Georgetown - all 8-10 blocks. Top up the fuel and drive through the block to the seriously renowned Ted Elliot Mineral Collection - TerrEstrial. Seniors price is $9. The exhibition starts with a video about the collector. The collection was bought by the Etheridge Shire and housed in the custom building. It is absolutely worth the time and effort.
Here are just a few pix...
After a couple of hours we are back on our way to Croydon, which we hear is more interesting. The CP is very clean, tidy and spacious. we are in for at least one night.
We have only done a couple of hundred KM but even Honey has had enough for the day...
