THURSDAY 4.07.2013: The day has dawned and so far everything is still functioning! We plan to use everything electrical today and book into the auto electrician tomorrow. A bouquet to Watsons' Caravans, Coffs Harbour - we are some two years out of warranty and really they are not obliged to be "on call" to provide ongoing assistance. Damo has also offered to guide the auto electrician through the motorhome electrics if need be.

Where do you begin with Longreach - so much to do that we had trouble making the decisions. Whilst Longreach has a smaller population than the Tilligerry Peninsula it is far more spread and the retail industry is equivalent to a city. During the winter months they ensure every tourist attraction is promoted and when summer hits - the town closes as it is too hot! Longreach is named for its position near the long reach of the river. All the streets are named after birds. Streets that run east-west are named after water birds and those that run north-south are named for land birds. We found a spot at the Apex Riverside Park Freedom Camp which is just out of town - something of a car park in reverse, empties by day, fills by night!
