Tobermorey Station NT to Boulia QLD

Tuesday 28 June 2022
Today we had about a 3.5 hour drive to Boulia QLD from Tobermorey Station NT. E got away about 9.15am and hadn’t even left the station when we saw a couple of wild bustards. Within 5 more mins we saw a couple of grey kangaroos, maybe Euros. The drive was probably about 1/4 of the way on dirt. I have spent so morning trying to capture his green it is with little success. We have seen many varieties of birds today. A few flocks of the most vibrant budgies, many brolgas, more bustards, a bit of road kill with a number of hawks or similar and more kangaroos. The Plains have been so green, it had been a lovely morning on the road. After passing a number of cars early, our first chipping our windscreen again, we have hardly seen a car the next 2.5 hours. Most pleasant says me, the passenger and David is quite happy too. We had a short break at Georgina River in Channel Country. It is hard to believe that after rain where we were standing could have 7 or 8m of water above our heads. David is preparing himself for Big Red Bash traffic which is on next week. We have met a couple of people on their way to Birdsville.

After checking in to our little cabin for the next 2 nights so David can do some work, we tried to have a swim at the local pool. David was sure he read it was heated. Foiled again. Only 12°C – definitely not Broady temperature. We will have to go for a walk instead.
