Day 5 - On the Road .. again


One thing I must say is ...
These tours really are NO GOOD for People who want to Sleep In!

7:30 am we were well and truly on the road with a full day's driving ahead.

85 km down the Road at Curtain Springs Station.  We enjoyed Morning Tea and an Informative Talk on the running of an Outback Cattle Station, before being whisked across the road to have a hands on demonstration on their side venture - Paper making with Local Grasses.

We stop to have another look at Mt Conner.
 
Standing 244 m above the plains and situated on the 1 Million Acre Curtain Springs Station, it is often mistaken by Tourists for Uluru earning the nickname "Fool-uru".

170 km later we stop for a quick Lunch at Kings Creek Station. 

Then on to Katleen Springs. A lovely (if not hot) walk past Wildflowers and long deserted Cattle Yards leading to a deep Waterhole.
Signs along the track tell stories of Aboriginal Culture.

As the Setting Sun competes with the Rising Full Moon we settle in to our Accommodation for the next nights. 

Having travelled just on 400 km we are looking forward to a Dinner we ordered 3 days ago and a Good Nights sleep.
