Day 4. McKinlayshire. 30.6.26

 We were advised in Aramac yesterday not to take the road to Hughenden as it was chopped up. So the plan was to head to Winton via Morella. There was about 90 kms of dirt involved and we'd had rain overnight so decided to go with plan C and head towards Longreach on the sealed road. We popped out on the Landsborough Hwy just north of the township. 

We had a few small water crossing and a little light rain but still a very scenic drive from Muttaburra to Longreach. 




Emus are few and far between. Today we've seen horses, cows, sheep, goats, emus and a snake.


Only stopped in Winton for a quick lunch stop.



Last time we were in the area we climbed the above rock formation. 
For something different we have parked up on the Landsborough Hwy behind a wall of hay bales halfway between Kynuna and McKinley. 

Our dinner view.


 Today we travelled 458 kms, total of 1478 kms.  We  are both a bit weary today. From tomorrow we can slow down and start to enjoy the trip as we have almost caught up to our original plan.

The weather has been cloudy and drizzly and the temperature range was 16-28°
