11th August

Not a great lot happening. We are at Winton.
Left Mareeba on Monday travelled down to Greenvale. Very sorry to leave our new friends behind. Guess we will catch up with them soon.
Stayed the night at Greenvale then onto Charters Towers. Weather not too bad much the same as Mareeba.
Ready to leave Charters Towers & noticed a half flat tyre on the van. Hightailed it to a servo to pump it up & noticed a nail in it. So off to the tyre place for a new one. Finally hit the road about 10.30 for Hughenden.
Booked into the caravan park for the night & just relaxed.
Next morning off to Winton. Got here about lunch time. Had a drive around to look at the caravan parks & decided on the Tattersall Hotel one. Straight across the street from the pub. Not a bad park. Considering it is on the main road was very quiet over night. Booked in for 2 nights but decided on a third night as the washing had to be done.

After the drive from Hughenden opened the van up & there was poor old Teddy with his head on his hands I didn't think my driving was that bad. What a classic.
Yesterday we took a drive out the Lark Quarry to see the dinosaur footprints. 110kms out but well worth the drive. All very interesting when it is all explained. Saw a bit of wildlife on the drive a few emus one old man emu with his chicks. Then on the way back noticed something on the road ahead got up closer & it was a dingo. He just ambled across the road & stood & watched us go past.
Very windy here not normal for this time of the year. But we cant have it good all the time I suppose.
Went & had a look at Arnos fence. What a sight everything including the kitchen sink.

 Some photos of the footprints. Is really amazing how these fellows find
all these things.Is a really good setup out there all under cover with a walkway beside the prints.

They also had some fossilised plant life on rocks. Also very amazing to think it has been preserved for all those years. Well the wind has died down so will go & sit in the sun & enjoy it while I can.
