Longreach to Mt Isa

Arrived in Longreach and off to the Stockmans hall of fame, Kev went mad with the camera see below -

Stockmans Hall of Fame very interesting.  Unbelievable that men, woman and children could live and work out in these remote conditions.  Need at least two separate days in the museum to take it all in.  Your ticket does allow you to come back over two days. 



On the trip between Longreach and Mt Isa we had to stop at the Walkabout Creek hotel (Grants icon - The pub where Crocodile Dundee was filmed) and the Blue Heeler hotel.  What a contrast, The Blue Heeler was very inviting and we could have settled in for the day, the Land lady and Barmaid were chatty and a range of things.  The Publican at the walkabout was hard to engage with and we didn't spend much time there, just done the tourist things. Pictures below.

 Blue Heeler - Kynuna

Blue Heeler is definitely one of my favourite hotels.  Over 100 years old and a historical site.   Very large pub compared with some pubs we've visited.  Great atmosphere for weary travellers.  Finally got a shot of Nick (See Above)

Now that we're in central QLD we've attempted to find where Steve was working.  So far, no one knows anything about him.  Until next time
