Today was the day of the emu and goat. The road was no better than yesterday. The long drive was broken by goats on the side of the road and emus crossing the road. We saw cattle too. Dead beside the road was kangaroos and emus, the only two native animals in Australia who cannot walk backwards so of course they cross the road! Silly things. We saw more snakes and lizards but they had the good sense to keep out of our way today.
After lunch we went down the main street to have a look around and to see the famous Cunnamulla Fella. This bloke was originally made famous by Stan Costner who wrote the song and Slim Dusty who sang it. Now there is a stunning bronze statue of him at the front of the Cunnamulla Community Centre.
The attention to detail is brilliant. This is as good as the Stockman Statue at Longreach.
