Well, we did our calculations. There were 50 caravans in our park, 50 in the other one, over 100 at the Billabong camping for free, and about 50 trucks from the Mt Isa show in the servo carpark. All of them were going our way. So we decided to be up and off at the crack of dawn, and lucky we did so. A little way down the road we were also joined by about 50 army trucks in several convoys. Luckily they were going the opposite way, but it would have made overtaking pretty tricky.
Had morning tea amongst the chaos of Barkly Homestead where every car, caravan, truck and Army vehicle was also trying to find a spot to park.
Rounded Three Ways to find the queue of caravans waiting to buy petrol was back out to the highway, and stopped at Attack Creek rest stop for lunch.
Renner Springs for the evening.
