22 July: A big day. Had originally planned to stay at a Musgrave again but decided to head further south. Finally hit continuous sealed roads again which made for more relaxed driving! Bustard Downs has had a mixed history- tobacco farm to mine camp and now a small organic fruit/veg and cattle farm. Camp was bursting when we arrived- a long weekend for Cairns and lots of locals. Emptied out the next night so very quiet. David spent hours transforming the car and caravan from red back to the original – a huge task and even with a large amount of soap and water and elbow grease areas of red still appear! Went for a few walks including one that was much longer than planned – didn’t get directions before heading off! Once got to the right place it was very pleasant and had a very late picnic lunch by the river.
