We made a few stops along the way from Blackall to Roma. There was a quick loo break at Tambo (and call-in at Tambo Teddies) before travelling on to Morven.There were toilets and picnic shelters at Morven Historical Museum, so we ate the last of our corned beef on sandwiches, closely supervised by an apostlebird and a bossy blue-faced honeyeater.
I posted a couple of postcards at the post office, which closed at lunchtime for the Melbourne Cup!
We stopped again at Mitchell, to stretch our legs and pick up a few groceries. (If you happen to pass through Mitchell, I highly recommend the bakery's caramel scrolls - yum)!
About 20 minutes out of Mitchell was the small town of Amby. We didn't stop but obviously the name appealed and there were jokes about someone pinching the Hs from all the signs!
It was another 45 minutes to Roma. I took a lot of road train photos during that stretch, trying to perfect my timing.
As it was our last night, we opted to stay in a park with ensuite sites, which proved handy - and quite amusing also, listening to froggies calling while we showered later that night. Once we were set up, Nick wandered off to talk to other campers - and I enjoyed sitting quietly, with my pot of tea and fantastic caramel scroll!
Day 8 = 487 kilometres
