23/7/22 Longreach

 

    Today we headed out on the bikes , the Qantas museum was only 500m away from us and you can see the planes on display under a huge cover . There's the City of Bunbury 747 , the Constellation , a 707 and another undercover .



    There's a Catalina outside as well.


   Here's the old hangar & workshop .


   Back in town , this is the railway station .


    Longreach Shire Council - right on the main road through and on a large roundabout .


    This is Apex Park - the cheap park - where you get to stay for $5 a night for no power & toilets only !


  I took all these while riding around town , then the 2 kms out to Apex Park . Found this little Red Backed  Kingfisher , who decided to pose for a photo .


   This is the main street of Longreach - it was Sunday .


 One of the original buildings - still under the same owner !


  The van park where we are staying started to fill up with a lot of veteran cars & motorbikes and associated backup vehicles . Here's an old fire truck .


    Must have been the fire captains car .


   Some of the old bikes - there were quite a few of them .

   That was our day in town on the bikes , here's map link :- https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=19Q7Mxg8i-5fdtfy3fdTv5XGTGNRMYPw&usp=sharing
