Day 13 - A better place to be.

We left AAOK Moondarra as soon as we could and travelled out to Lake Moondarra where we had our usual breakfast with hot plunger coffee. We found an excellent camp site, Argylla, on the Cloncurry road. Great facilities, trees, shade – the works.

Each campsite seems to have a different character in both the management and the people. Argylla had two groups of retirees who were travelling to remote places where they would stay entirely self-supported for a couple of months. One group was setting up for their customary gourmet evening meal. They had an array of cob ovens and camp kitchens from which they produced three different roast meats with vegetables. The meal was rounded off with a good selection of desserts.

Whilst the camp kitchen was crowded everybody worked well together and it made for an enjoyable evening of good humoured banter.
