We decided in the end to go to Charleville – we thought that since it’s a bigger town than St George we might find work easier, but once we got here we found out that due to the rains up here there isn’t much work in this area either. Even the meat factory which specialises in kangaroo has cut back hours because the rains means that the shooters can’t go out to get the roos. We’re booked in for 3 nights to give us a chance to check out the area. We’ve heard there is good fishing up here, so hopefully we’ll get the chance to check it out. There’s also a Cosmos Centre which runs night time astronomy sessions which could be interesting. The night skies in the outback are brilliant, so could be good checking out some of them with a powerful telescope.
The caravan park we’re in is only 1km out of town and is a nice walk. I’ll hopefully get some good photos tomorrow.
