Our bright, fluoro shirts worry the birds. All along our route, they send alarm calls to each other.
Saw two freshly killed wallabies on the road. Very little road kill considering the number of road trains that use this route.
Cloncurry is another small outback town, with a single main street with parking in the centre of the road. Everything's closed on Sunday except for one small supermarket.
The town is famous for establishing the Flying Doctor Service.
Tomorrow we attack the hills of the Selwyn Ranges. Will be a challenging day- or maybe days!
