 Kevin has kept you up to date,  so no need to restate my days journey.   I feel that my trip has entered a new phase as I retrace some kilometers and strike out west, on roads with 110km/h speed limits and road trains.   The country is very green and lush after the floods,  and I am told that further west it is infested with bugs and flies.   :eek
The event  of the day was my $2 hot cross buns and coffee at Maccas.   The idiot squished the bun in one of those sandwich makers until it about 5mm thick.   I was more amused than cross,  and other customers were having a great chuckle.

What is the reasoning behind squishing the bun?

No.  Plans have changed so its Ricnhmond tomorrow to visit the fossil centre.  It's the heart of Queenslands dinosaur region.

This is a marathon run, the furthest daily distance that Pete has travelled so far.
Current spot is from around 3.15pm, with around 30 minutes or less to Mt Isa.
