A lazy, hot day in sleepy Richmond.
Planned our food requirements for the next three days then strolled to the SPAR supermarket, 500m away, to stock up.
Gold brought growth to Richmond in the 1800s. Has a fascinating history. Population was 50% Chinese at one stage. Like many outback towns, it's struggling to survive now. Buildings are old and unkempt.

We're riding the Overlanders Way - this is Fossil country.
Australia's most intact fossil was discovered in the Richmond area. Visited Kronosaurus Korner (at the info centre)- an amazing collection of locally found Fossils, with an interesting, recorded commentary.
Had coffees on the deck of an old house operating as a coffee shop.
Watched several flyovers of hundreds of squawking white cockatoos. Heard them long before they came into view.

Packing and relaxing this avo, before another hot couple of days on the road.
