Nick and I were up early, so took Bandit for a walk up to the Musical Fence. It's tuning had been adjusted since our last visit, which was an improvement.Packup was fairly smooth, our earliest departure so far. We started heading up to Julia Creek.
There was lots of amusement early in the day - a caravan passed a truck ahead of us, then sat right in front of him/her obviously causing angst, cos the truck passed not long after and then sat right in front of the van for some considerable distance! We weren't keen to be part of their argument, so chose to pass when there was a much greater distance between them. (Further along another truck driver signalled when it was safe for us to pass him).
We'd made a quick detour to Kynuna for a rest stop, where a trio of brolgas were taking shelter near the picnic tables! They wandered quite close to us, a pair with juvenile. How neat is that?!
We saw many kites and a couple of massive wedge-tailed eagles. We had late lunch with Di soon after arrival and a bit of quick town exploration, with another two brolgas and a pair of bustards spotted. (Di was working but could accompany us some places - as long as she stayed close to her ambulance).
Day 5, Winton to Julia Creek - 285km
