Last leg to Birdsville – 480 Km. The landscape went through a few changes from mulga to Mitchell Grasslands. We also saw a well that the Mithaka people had dug. It was on a mound and how they knew to dig for water on what appeared to be a featureless piece of land is a bit of a mystery.
The main road to Birdsville is unsealed after the turn off from the Bedourie road. The surface was good, if loose in places. We saw lots of raptors, a pair of brolgas, emus and a wild pig with two piglets
The Birdsville Caravan Park was clean with good facilities although quite dusty. We found a secluded spot down from the main area and overlooking the lake.
We decided to end the day with a meal at the Birdsville hotel. The obvious choice of meal for Richard was kangaroo. It is an agreeable meat similar to beef and very lean. Dell had chicken! We washed the meal down with a house red aptly named Big Red.
