Innaminka

Explored around and went to Wils grave site.  Sam fell asleep in the car so Gaz just carried him around the gravesite and out to the river.

Was a very warm night, woke up to clouds again - realised we've lost Sams bike somewhere between Silverton and Innaminka.  Had a chat with an older couple from Brisbane travelling with their dog - they had taken 6 weeks to travel from Brisbane to Innaminka.  Sam and Dog again took a liking to each other.  They recommended a few campsites for us - Stonehenge - opposite pub - pub does great counter meals, Isisford - machinery mile tractors etc.  We've decided not to go to Birdsville this time as we need to be in Rockhampton before Sunday to pick up the girls.  If we were to got to Birdsville from here would prob take around 9 hours due to a lot of the roads being closed.  If it was to rain while we were there they may close the road and we would have to wait until it was open.  So we've decided to start heading toward Rockhampton tommorrow taking our time.  We are going to visit Burke and Wills Dig tree on the way out.
