We arrived late in the afternoon in Birdsville and pulled into the caravan park – to the great surprise of the caravan park owner – she couldn’t believe there were still people coming across the Simpson (we did it very late in the season, in fact we only passed 4 cars over the 3 days driving). We enjoyed a shower and then headed up to the Birdsville pub for a few extremely refreshing coldies!!

On the way out of Birdsville we had a laugh at the sign out the front of the local Bakery - when most signs out the front of shops say something like “back in 15 minutes” this one said “Back in April 2012”. We also stopped and had a look at another Burke and Wills site – a tree which was marked by them with the date 1861 as one of their campsites during their return.
