Left Hugenden after using the dump point and filling up with water.

Check out the gorgeous birds in the tree above the potable water tap.

Arrived at Richmond and had a delicious lunch in the cafe at the visitors centre, chicken, leek and mushroom pie YUMMMM. The lady said they were local pies and I recommend them.

We visited Kronsaurus Centre and found the audio guides a brilliant way to move around the museum and see the exhibits. There is a theatre that shows a 15 minute movie about the Richmond area 100 million years ago when the giant aquatic reptile Kronosaurus ruled the Eromanga Sea.

We were all amazed at the almost complete fossil of an icthyosaur that was found in the Richmond area. The most complete icthyosaur fossil in the world.

We spent about 2 hours at the museum. I think Maddie listened to every recording! It is an excellent museum and well worth visiting.

As it was still early in the afternoon we decided to continue our travels and head on to Julia Creek.

Who should we meet while trying to find a good camp spot at Julia Creek RV Park – Andy & Jenny. What a surprise! They were already camped up alongside Catie & Robert so we quickly moved our camp around to where they were already set up. Catie & Robert got a big surprise when they arrived back from town and there we were!

There was an emu dad and his chicks right near the park but we were warned not to get too close as he had already attacked a camper who got too close.

It was Katies turn to cook and we enjoyed pulled pork with mash and veggies. So good!
