Charleville

A day in Charleville. While the owl was watching me from the tree just above
us, we prepared for the trip to Quilpy and Windorah. The information that we
got is, that the roads out there are free. A lot of water is coming down
from the north into the Cooper- and Bulloo river. But at the moment: no
flooding of the roads towards Windorah. So tomorrowmorning we will head
towards Quilpy, stay the night over there, and check again weather the roads
are clear. We set ourselves up with enhough supplies to fight the flies,
mozzies (mosquitos) an especially the sandflies. Charleville is an outback
town beiing one of the eight RFDS (Royal Flying Doctors Service) bases in
Queensland. It also has a nice old hotel: Hotel Corones. Hotel Corones was
built by Harry (Poppa) Corones, the first Greek who got a licence to run a
hotel in Australia.
