May 14 to 16 Longreach.

We needed some time to do the washing – clothes and car, stock up at the supermarket and get ourselves ready for the next part of the trip, so we spent three nights in Longreach. It was great not to have to pack up the van each morning and move on.

We spent a few hours at the Qantas Museum – super interesting to see the determination that led to Qantas being created. We also visited a little town nearby called Ilfracombe and walked the open air museum, a mile of farm machinery. The sunsets in Longreach are stunning.
