DAY 7: Now Boulia is not one of the places in the ‘I’ve been everywhere man’ song. It is however a place I could not resist detouring around to visit. I left Winton for Boulia at 8.30AM a trip of just over 300KM. I usually travel at around 100-110KM...
DAY 8. Town 11: Today I can only offer a brief report for three reasons. Firstly after driving over 1,100km I’m bushed. Secondly most of the driving was in the outback on long straight (and very hot) roads where not too much happened and thirdly I’ve got...
Day 7: Today I’ve been to three great places but none are in the ‘I’ve been everywhere” song. This did not stop me having an enjoyable time at each destination. Lets start at Winton… Winton is another small outback town but one with many...
DAY 6. Town 10: Today started in Blackall and finished 393 KM later in Winton passing through Longreach and the only ‘I’ve been everywhere’ town, Morella. I feel that I am getting the hang of outback motoring. I’ve adopted the compulsory laid...

Day 3. Town 7: Goondiwindi lies just over the New South Wales boarder in Queensland, indeed this position is one of the reasons for its existence as a Customs House (main picture) was constructed to collect taxes on goods passing over the boarder in times gone by....
DAY 3. Town 6: Unfortunately there is not a lot to write about Boggabilla. It is a bit of a one horse town (with one shop, one post office (closed) and one church. The name Boggabilla means “full of creeks”. View Larger Map
DAY 3. Town 5: Today the radio station declared that is was weather for golliwogs. This is not an expression I am familiar with so I was relieved when the announcer went on to say that this meant it is neither too hot nor too cold. Indeed, the weather has been...
Day 3. Town 4: When asking at Narrabi Tourist Information Office of the must see’s in the area I was advised of the Sawn Rock formation and the CSIRO Australia Telescope. Unfortunately, because of bush fires in the area the Sawn Rock formation was a no go area,...
