After lunch next stop Coles to full the cupboards and fridge.just about forgot to mention Beer and wine also it's so dam hot 35 and it's winter.We didn't have much of a look around far to hot and we where having fridge issues so,didn't want to lose the frozen meat.Left Mount Isa and looking for some where to camp the night.About 56km out found a old WW2 Air Strip,so red and dusty just like powder gets into every thing.Didn't take any photos not much to see.we didn't get much sleep with the road trains.
