Day 22: Camped near a dam about 20K from Running River
At Kirkland Downs Station they camped by the creek as they often did. There were no fish to be caught but not from lack of trying. The prickles and burrs were everywhere and the horses manes were natted thick the next morning. Boo lost a shoe but was fixed up the next morning at the homestead. They also received some much welcome fresh fruit.
Walter Plains Lake... not sure exactly at what point they passed by here but it is another of those beautify hidden water ways.
They found some very curious cattle...
and even more. They cattle had been mustered that day with horses, which is very rarely done these days
Route changed due to military taking over heaps of the land but they got permission to camp by the dam on Paynes Lagoon and took a day off to prepare for the next 3 big days to Mingela.
Boo was feeling a little lazy and over relaxed. He ended up sleeping most of the day.
The road to Mingela... I'm told if you look close enough you can see a Telstra tower. This spared some excitement as it meant they would soon have phone reception. Wow...
Odd pieces of tar surface meant civilisation was getting closer.
