ON THE WAY TO THE BURDEKIN DAM

Cattle trough makes a good camp as long as you leave room for the cattle.




All lined up and ready for a day on the trail. (L-R: Con Man, Tikkaboo, Blue and Peril)


Mount Ravenswood Station - cattle yards and dam...good grass for the horses, and good swimming for the riders!














RAVENSWOOD


The historic town of Ravenswood.


The showgrounds provided a good camp with room for the horses. Pity they had had a burn
off the day before!! A bale of hay was welcome thanks to a helpful traveller who was heading
to Townsville for the day.
The camp was shared with 20 kids on a school excursion. They were treated to a pack horse demonstration the next morning.
Right behind Ravenswood is a big gold mine. This is breathing new life into the little town.
