Birdsville

A fine clear day which was warm in the afternoon.

Did some washing and went to the Birdsville Working Museum. It was amazing, the owner does 3 shows a day and go’s through explaining and demonstrating the things he has collected. Took about an hour for the talk but you could spend hours there.

In the afternoon we went to the Information centre and sent emails, went for a drive to the Burk and Wills tree and took the old river crossing, also visited the old Inland Mission Hospital. Later we found a wash area with water from the bore where we washed the car. Mum wants to wash the mud off the van as we leave tomorrow; I’m not that keen as it is looks like a “badge of honour” to me.
