From Cameron Corner we took the old Strezlecki Track it was rough,  dusty and Hot. Pulling off the road we found some shade which was much appreciated and stayed here overnight. Next morning we headed for Innamincka. We went straight to the hotel for some lunch and a cold drink. Booking a camp site from the store on the Innamincka Regional Reserve we drove out to Ski Beach Camp overlooking a Billabong for the night. This time of year it is very very hot at 50 degrees we were glad of some shade once again. Fueling up the generator we tried the aircon, it helped a little in reducing the temperature inside the van to 36 degrees.

Next day we went on to the Burke and Wills Dig Tree, an enduring reminder of the extreme harshness of the outback of Australia. There are millions of flies out here so come prepared with your fly nets.  This picture is of the Face Tree which was carved by John Dick in 1898 ( the Dig Tree is 30 meters upstream of this tree).

We were now looking forward to moving on to the Eromanga Natural History Museum. These guys are discovering new Australian Megafauna  in different areas in the South West Queensland Channel Country. Their biggest Dinosaur is a 95-98 million year old Titanosaur called Cooper which grew to a massive length of 30 meters. We found this museum very interesting and educational. There is also a newly established Lodge built on site for people wishing to visit. Thanks to Robyn and Corey for taking us on this incredible tour of the museum.

We caught up with Kevs nephew Grant who lives at Eromanga who was keen to show us around the area. Driving out of town to a rocky outcrop he was able to show us some Echidnas  and other wildlife. We had a lovely visit with Grant and his family.
