John packed up and headed off at 7:05, as he had to get home. We helped Dell and Al pack and they left at 8 am. (Dell had to get back to Rocky for a Beef Week event in the morning). We had a leisurely clean up and pack, and enjoyed a visit to the campsite by a flock of Apostle birds and some kangaroo's, before taking off at 9:40.

We got to Springsure for lunch, and were just pulling into the park when Dell and Al drove past! We were totally shocked as we had expected them to be well on their way home, but Dell wanted to visit friends. We only stopped for a very quick chat, before they proceeded, and we went into the park for lunch. The area around had a lot of historic artifacts.

We had been planning to stay the night at Lake Victoria but it was getting late, so we decided to stop at the Dawson River camp ground at Moura. As we pulled in, I saw a big red bus which I immediately recognised as that belonging to Ashley, Dell's cousin. So we introduced ourselves and had happy hour with him and Audrey, his wife. It turns out Ashley is also a cousin of my Anderson cousins. There's quite a contrast between Ashley's big red rig (clean) and our little setup, but our's does us.
