Sunday... 8 July

Did nothing Saturday, stayed home and washed. Himself went fishing at the local weir but no luck. At least he finally got a line wet after carrying the three rods all this way all nicely wrapped in their little calico bags I made them to keep them snug and happy in their little pipe home. Perhaps next time he will have more luck. Poor thing had to make do with the other half of  his kilo of prawns for tea!!
Today we left Normanton and headed to Croydon with intentions of stopping a few days but while it is an old gold mining town full of history and such we managed to do most of the touristy things by lunchtime so decided to travel a bit further after all.  The tourist information centre in Croydon has the most amazing sculptures dotted all over their grounds. They were made by a local bloke and appear to have been made with chain and other left over bits of mechanically inclined stuff.
We have ended up in a little place called Mt Surprise, population 60. Near this town is the Undara Lava Tubes and we have booked a tour for tomorrow.
