On the way there we passed by a horrific accident, where a caravan had unfortunately misjudged the "wide load" that was coming his way and didn't pull over far enough, the wide load happened to be a truck transporting a house, the house was resting on metal beams...the metal beams went through the caravan like a can opener! Luckily no-one was hurt, but i think their holiday was cut short.... We also got stuck following a truck carrying a mining drill, which took up 3/4 of the road so you couldn't pass it, and traffic coming the other way literally had to stop & pull over. It was a very eventful few hours, but was great on fuel!
We only stayed one night in Longreach, which was plenty as unless you are there for races or a rodeo there isn't a whole lot to see or do. We visited the Qantas Museum, and the Stockmans Hall of Fame. And we did have a treat of dinner at the woolshed resaurant at our van park, awesome food, live entertainment and all for old pub prices of approximately $15 a main meal! And that was longreach.
