CLONCURRY

Next stop Cloncurry - hot, dry, dusty, one main street and a couple of side streets, but 4 pubs though to service the miners from round about.
It was my birthday and messages and phone calls started to come in, very nice when you are so far away from everything.
Our first stop was to see the Dr. John Flynn museum, it is hard to imagine how difficult it was for the people and how wonderful it must have been to be able to radio to the doctor, seek advice, support, reassurance or to have him fly in on a plane, this depiction brought it to life.
Our caravan park for $19 per night had power of a sort, no water, poor amenities, no rubbish, -still this is the outback !
The sight to see was Chinaman's Dam and the sign warning of freshwater crocodiles (freshies)
and a small hill to see the local sights.
We dined that night at the Post Office Hotel, Barramundi for me, I think the first real Barra I've had, Kev says that a lot of times it is substituted by something else, anyway it was very nice.
