18th April

Oh What a night!Sophie was up twice and so was Olivia but at 3am Sophie woke Libby up by carrying on at the top of her lungs. The big problem was that Sophie then went back to sleep and i spent until 6 am with Libby until she went back to sleep! She still had a belly ache and would carry on crying no no no no every time she had a tummy cramp so it was hard to keep her quiet and comfortable! We watched fairies and mckey mouse club house and finally at 6 she fell fast asleep! Needless to say it was almost 730 before we got on the road and Libby slept through it all not waking until 830! I have two words to say.....boot camp! hehe

Reached Tambo at 930 and headed in to see Tambo Teddies which are made by hand and purely by lambskin. They wer beautiful but ranging from $20 for a mouse and $275 for a stockman teddie. The girls had a lovely time looking and we also got a photo of Aus only teddy bear crossing sign!


After a quick play we headed off stopping only in Blackall for lunch and reached Longreach by 2pm. We booked into a cabin at Longreach caravan park which was quite a small park compaired to the Discovery where the in laws were but we saved $70 on the cabin as theirs were $140. We then headed off to the Quanta's Museum to see and read about the history of Quantas. We are booked on a tour of a 707 tomorrow as todays were all booked out but we went through the museum and looked at all the other bits an pieces.


The girls enjoyed pretending to fly their own plane and other than a few moemnts were pretty good in the museum. The old lady next to Sophie with the photo op offered to hold Libby up too but Olivia did not like that idea and ran away, ohwell.


We then went back and cooked chicken and veg for dinner while the girls used the bunk beds as a playgound (campground did not have one). Olivia was asleep by 7 and quite easily (thank god) but as Sophie had a nap yesterday she was a bit of a pain and did not got to sleep easily. Stockmans hall of fame and the plane tour tomorrow then head for Winton!

Nite XXX
