Halls Creek and Larrawa Homestead

Friday, September 27, 2013

There is not much to Hall’s Creek. But there was a bakery with latte coffee, and it was good and we were happy. During coffee, Stephen noticed a sign offering the public a chance to see a weather balloon launch. So, we “the public” made our way to the Bureau of Meteorology where we were welcomed with open arms. Not sure that they get many tourists through the Hall’s Creek office. The officer on duty explained the various computers and instruments monitoring the weather and then launched the hydrogen balloon. We were able to track it by radar.

Headed west in the direction of Fitzroy Crossing. We made it halfway to Larrawa Homestead where we had exclusive use of the campground for the night. The showers were good and boy did we need them.
