Tibooburra

It rained a little overnight so we spent the first part of the morning in Tibooburra, waiting to see what the weather would do. A stroll up the street, a visit to the National Parks office and the Courthouse museum, and then coffee and muffin for morning tea at the shop/cafe.

The photos are of the Albert Hall and the Family Hotel next door to it. There is another pub here, but I didn’t get a photo of it with the iPhone – which is currently the only way I can blog photos just now.

We headed to Milparinka mid-morning, via Sturt’s Cairn on Mt Poole and Depot Glen where Sturt’s exploration party spent 6 months stranded by drought in the 1840s. Then back to Milparinka for lunch at the pub – M’s population is about 5.

Tomorrow, as long as the rain holds off, we’re heading to Innamincka – and probably well out of phone range, so the blog may be quiet for a few days.
