Goodbye Birdsville...

Well folks,

We finally got our marching orders the other day and we are flying out of Birdsville on Friday. We have been in this tiny town for 5 weeks but it's gone by so fast! We've had the chance to experience a lot of what the outback has to offer and we have really enjoyed ourselves! We have seen amazing things, met some great people and had the unique opportunity to explore this outback town and all its charm.

The last week and a bit has been relatively uneventful. We did have our campfire with friends. I ate a few too many roasted marshmallows, but it was worth it :) And we also had the privilege of experiencing a Birdsville Bakery Friday Night Dinner. This is a new tradition in Birdsville, but it's a great one. Dusty and his wife Theresa have started Friday night dinner, as a change from only being able to eat out at the pub. They even have a signature dish...Major Mitchell's Birdsville Fried Chicken (the B.F.C.). Get it...like Colonel Sanders Kentucky Fried Chicken. And it was actually really good fried chicken! Not too greasy but full of flavour! If you ever find yourself in Birdsville on a Friday night, make sure you go see Dusty at the bakery for some B.F.C.

Other then that the only interesting this has been the weather. It has been crazy recently. We've had 3 days straight of over 42 degree weather, then it will change to a wild dust storm. we've survived a couple dust storms so far - they kinda suck though. Nothing like getting pelted in the eye with sand! But they are really interesting to see coming. They block out the sunsets and moon rising and just give the town this eerie feeling - kind of neat to experience.

So, we are heading out tonight to the pub for one final goodbye to Birdsville, then we are off to Quiplie tomorrow for the next 6-7 weeks to work in the Channel Country Caravan Park. I think it's going to feel like a luxury working there - they have 3 hot tubs, beautiful amenties, a caravan for us with an en suite bathroom. And Quiplie will probably feel like a city - a library, 2 motels, 3 restaurants, a bakery, a coffee shop, a newsagent, post office, a public swimming pool, etc.

Bring on another new adventure!

I hope everyone is getting excited for Halloween! What are your costumes going to be??
