Nick and I had an early walk through town with Bandit before breakfast - and packing up. We left Longreach at 9:30am and drove to Blackall via Ilfracombe/Isisford (which was new countryside for us).
There hadn't been as many lizards as expected this trip but we spotted a bearded dragon on the quieter road and called for a halt.
Vaughan surprised us by exiting the car and successfully sprinting after the lizard, in his slip-on shoes and while hitching his pants!
We'd missed seeing Alice and Avon on the way up, so were looking forward to seeing them on the way home. We checked into Blackall caravan park around 2:00pm and were given a site very close to the one we'd had on the way up.
It was lovely to spend several hours catching up with Alice after setting up, seeing her garden and desert roses, sharing stories - and her beautifully baked cake.
Back at the van park, we dined under the stars again and enjoyed a beautiful cool breeze.
