Longreach to Ilfracombe (includes Stockman's Hall of Fame)

Hello all
Another update so soon, you ask? Well when I have lots of photos, like today, after the Stockman's Hall of Fame, if I leave it too long it takes too much time to catch up.

After pulling out this morning, I headed to the Stockman's Hall of Fame in Longreach.

 First stop was the Stockman Show, highly recommended and well worth the extra $20 to see it.

Heading off towards Ilfracombe I stopped at the Machinery Mile in town. A mile of every piece of machinery you could imagine.

Well, when you have a slide on and you see an entrance to a Caravan Park like the picture below you just have to stay.
