TUESDAY 20.9.2011: The still naive travellers pulled into the rather large town of Emerald. We had expected a somewhat smaller village! Emerald is a large, modern country town that was established in 1879 as a base for the building of the western railway. The town is named after 'Emerald Downs Hill', a lush green hill located just north of town. We headed for the Freedom Camp "in the car park under the bridge outside the Botanic Gardens". Arrived at 4.00pm, no-one in sight, changed position twice, speculated about our safety and finally decided that we were close enough to town to dial 000 if need be. 4.05pm motorhomes and caravans as far as the eye could see!
