We woke up at Cloncurry at about 6am and watched the red desert scenery to Duchess.
This was the first time we had been to Duchess, but the train only stopped for a minute, and there seemed to be nothing other than a hotel nearby.
As the train approached Mount Isa the earth became greyer. It was an hour late arriving, but Aidan and Peta were waiting for us and ferried us to their house.
But on the way we stopped at The Coffee Club for morning tea. After we unpacked, it was time to get oriented in the house. No shortage of projects to get stuck into and we are rearing to go.
Aidan and Malcolm went to Bunnings twice to gear up for the tasks ahead, then Lyn and Malcolm gave the front fence a first coat of stain. The fence was positioned by a mate of Aidan's who is a surveyor and it is perfectly plumb and straight. We hope to have the street view ready for Google maps by the time we leave.
Peta's Mum Bronwyn and sister Jessica called in after we had a delicious meal cooked by Peta. Today was a great start to our twelve days in Mount Isa.
