We headed off from Birdsville along the Bilby Way to Bedourie not sure what to expect. The channel country was again amazing to look at and we would love to see it after rain when there is pasture. About 81km from Birdsville is the ruins of Carcoory homestead. Owned by Sir Sidney Kidman the homestead was abandoned in the early 1900's after drought and the death of over 400 bullocks. Imagine waking up to the view of nothing every day.
Next stop was Cuttaburra crossing on Eyre Creek. Yippee there was water and some beautiful bird life.
Once in Bedourie we stayed in the 'caravan park' if you could call it that but we did get the use of the artesian spa - 40degrees so only in there for 10 minutes at a time. Fantastic though! Great little pub to have a drink in & got talking to the German backpacker working there. Took the job without realizing how remote. Works 6 hrs/day - 7 days a week and gets food, accommodation (pretty bloody basic too) and a couple of dollars hour in hand. She wasn't going to stick it!!
