Boulia

Sunrise above the Bourke River beside the caravan park in Boulia.

 

After enjoying the sunrise we travelled in convoy down to Birdsville. Travelling convoy is something a little different. Tony the tagalong leader up front and pointing out the interesting things he sees on the two way. Only problem that flock of budgies that he sees have long gone by the time we get there. 🙂
