So, today we enjoyed Camooweal all morning. Quite a sweet little place with a great historical museum of cattle droving (the Cattle Drovers) and a great post office, with the following bathroom and enlarged sign above the toilet:

The awesome post office also serves great coffee and has blazing fast internet. Yeah!
And as a last paean to Queensland, this sign is what you see if you have just left the Northern Territory and are entering Queensland (in other words, going the opposite direction that we are)
;)
So, I guess we are to set our watches back five years and 30 minutes. Believe it or not, the time in the Northern Territory is actually half an hour behind Queensland.
Today our trip was shifted into high gear (!) - Shirl is finally driving in 5th gear, and we did the 450 K trip at the speed limit of 130 km/hour (78 miles per hour) in a little over four hours from Camooweal to the next junction of highways (the Barkly and the Stuart), which is called Three Ways. Lightning fast. We are ensconced in a shady site in the one and only Caravan Park here and are enjoying our extra half an hour of rest!
