We packed up camp and pulled around to the bowsers to get fuel. After getting fuel and air, we said goodbye to Andrew, and thanked him for his hospitality. Mitchell and Thomas both bought a Barkly Homestead singlet, and we headed for Mt Isa.
We reached the Northern Territory/Queensland border at about 1pm and decided to stop and make lunch. Ham and salad wraps and a cold drink before getting back on the road.
At about 4.30pm we decided that we would be too late to do a mine tour in Mt Isa today, so we decided to pull into a free camp at an old World War II airstrip about ½ an hour out of Mt Isa.
We set up camp on the area behind the airstrip and the boys played Boules while I cooked tea. We had a curry and rice for tea, before a friendly game of Cluedo which was won by Mitch. We went to bed not long after dark.
