Windorah to Longreach

 A bunch more days have gone by & we are now in Longreach. Windorah was good for a couple of nights & the side trip to Birdsville was shelved & left for another trip, due to dog restrictions. A night at Swanvale Jump Up was great & another at Stone Henge. The last 2 nights have been here in Longreach for restocking & maintenance, we have been here numerous times before so we didn't do much touristy stuff. Here is the avalanche of pictographs.
