June 23 (Day 4)
I got up at about 7:00, had breakfast and got ready to get back on the road. We wanted to get to Longreach by the end of the day. That was about 515km away. Our first stop was Blackall. Here we saw the black stump, so now we are officially beyond the black stump. We next stopped at Tambo and had lunch. We got to Barcaldine, where we saw the Tree of Knowledge. We headed to Longreach, which is just above the Tropic of Capricorn. So now we are in the tropics! We’re not driving anywhere tomorrow so we don’t have to pack up our caravan.
