We spent an extra night in Cooper Creek after T and family left. It was pleasant enough for another night of camp fire. I cooked my first damper of the trip. It was a bit salty but we still ate it all. Another plus was our camp neighbour, Brian gave us some yellowbelly cooked with batter. It was better than the fish from the shops. We also cooked "Vernon", the yabby I caught a couple of days before.
We headed out towards Stonehenge and looked around Wellford NP for possible camp site. It was way too hot and decided to proceed to Swanvale Jump Up. A free camp with a view. Unfortunately the temperature made it really uncomfortable for us as well as the bees, flies and mozzies. We left very early in the morning without coffee or breakkie.
We drove to Longreach but decided that it was just too hot to stay another night. We made the decision to drive south, as far south as possible. After TJ's photos at the Qantas Founders Museum, we drove to try to outrun the heat. Finally stopped at Cunnumulla after 6pm and parked at Hotel Cunnumulla. Its free to park the night if you eat or drink at the hotel. While its cooler than Swanvale, it was still uncomfortable to sleep.
