With the Kidman Way terminating at Bourke, turning left out of Kidman Camp we headed North towards Cunnamulla on the Matilda Way. 

Apart from the roadkill, which has been a common topic of discussion between caravanners along the way, there were plenty of live animals roadside this morning, including emus, goats, kangaroos, sheep and even some cattle, a couple of which decided they wanted to cross the road in front of us.

Not long after a toilet stop at Enngonia, our only stop on this 260km leg, we crossed the border from NSW into Queensland. It was a quiet Saturday morning in Enngonia, but with the horse races here next weekend, no doubt it will be busier then. Having crossed into Queensland it means we've taken the caravan to all mainland states and territories. Just after 11am we arrived at our home for the next two nights, the Warrego Riverside Tourist Park where we were given a warm welcome by owner Judy. 

After a light lunch in the van we headed back into town to take in some sights by following the heritage trail. The original Cunnamulla Railway Station opened in 1898 but was burnt down in the late 1800s and the present replacement structure is one of only three covered railway platforms in Queensland. Since 1994 the station is serviced by freight trains only, with the passenger train from Brisbane railway now terminating at Charleville and a bus taking passengers onto Wyandra and Cunnamulla.  

The robber's tree is so named after Joseph Wells tried to escape by climbing the tree after holding up the National Bank in 1860. Unfortunately a dog tracked him down and he was later convicted and hung for the offence; the last man in Queensland to be hung for such a crime.

We continued pass the turnoff on Weir Road to the the Warrego Riverside Tourist Park to visit the Allan Tannock Weir across the Warrego River. Here we found a situation much like the Darling River at Bourke in that there was no flow of water over the weir and so effectively the Warrego, like the Darling is not flowing.

Judy told us on check-in that we should attend 'happy hour' and so we joined around 20 others around a campfire on the bank of the river. Unfortunately our spot in the circle around the fire was down wind and the smoke was a little disconcerting, but we had some good conversation, particularly with a couple from Moonta Bay given the Yorke Peninsula has been a popular holiday location for us. After 'happy hour' dinner was simply sausages and egg, with peaches and ice-cream for dessert, and finished off with a cup of team and a piece of slice. Like last night at Bourke, the sky here is amazing, but unfortunately there's no way we can capture star filled sky with the camera.
