Charters Towers……………Day 115

18 July 2014

Well our two days at Theresa Creek Dam, 22 kms out of Clermont stretched into 4 days. We pulled out today, Friday 18th, for charters Towers, a long 380 kms north of us.

As we came into Clermont I had my tablet on to check emails and the news of the Malaysian Airlines Plane that had been shot down was all over the news. What horrific news this was.

We saw cattle being driven along the road by two drovers. At the tail end of the cattle were a lot of very young calves with their mums.

We also saw hundreds of Brolgas (birds) eating the spilt sorghum in recently harvested paddocks and many hundreds at a near by dam.

We arrived in Charters Towers mid afternoon.
