Qld Outback Tour - John Flynn Place

The promised tyres - the main reason we were in Cloncurry - didn't appear on the overnight transport from Townsville, because an employee for got to order them. I didn't see the point of being upset and it paid dividends when I was offered a good price for the tyres ... about $60 per tyre less than Tamworth prices.

With another day to kill, we eventually returned to John Flynn Place and the museum set up to honour the Royal Flying Doctor Service which was first set up in Cloncurry and took its first operational flight from here to Julia Creek. We hadn't been keen to see it again, having appreciated it once before but a return visit ended up being more than justified.

Extremely well curated, there was lots of information but presented in a variety of learning styles which caught the eye and helped things sink in.

We would highly recommend it.

We had a very nice dinner in a very ordinary hotel which offered a two for deal on meals, resulting in us getting barramundi and salad and a curry for the sum total of $25.

Day over, largely boring, we sat it out hoping the new tyres arrive in the morning.
