Leaving Mackay on 22nd June our first stop was Ayr moving on to Charters Towers with which Kev and Carol were quite familiar as they had sent their children there to school.
A great park - first night burgers were for sale for dinner to raise funds for the Flying Doctor, plus entertainment of song and verse.
The next morning was scones etc again for Flying Doctor, then around to see the sights of town, some very lovely architecture.
That evening there was a concert at RSL plus dinner $20, raising funds for cyclone Yasi victims, excellent value the concert started at 7pm till 11:45 and a ride home on a bus. Next day we passed through Torrens Creek staying at Hughendon where we toured the dinosaur museum and saw a film outlining how the land was formed over the last 500 million years by the molten lava pouring from the erupting mountains.
The other highlight was a "Coolibah" tree "blazed" by William Landsborough for Burke & Wills.
