On Eagle street, the main street in Longreach at night. The well lit water tower at the far end is in the middle of the roundabout on the Matilda Highway.

Lyceum

This is it, the Lyceum pub. I like the double posts and the high ceilings. It's a very nice old building.

Longreach

Our trip brought us through Longreach where we stayed overnight at the Lyceum Hotel. These were some of the revellers enjoying a quiet moment on the balcony.

Driving

Mirror Zoom

The things you see in your side mirror while crossing a great big flat desert. This was about halfway between Kynuna and Winton. We all made it in one piece and without breakdowns. The only casualties were a few hubcaps seen flying off over a cattle grid and some insects.

Quiet Friday

It was a Friday night and all was still in the sleepy little town of Mount Isa. Unfortunately the Christmas tree has not been lit up yet, when it is it will be right in the centre of this photo.

Irish Club

A local pub/pokie/club called the Irish Club is all dressed up for Christmas at the moment. The Irish Club has a long history here in town.

On a different topic, I am off for a holiday. I will post photos as I can and let you know what's happening where ever I happen to be.
