Packed up and drove into Barcaldine. Filled up the gas bottle before visiting the Tree of Knowledge. This is the original ghost gum tree where the striking shearers met and was the start of the union movement and the Labour Party was conceived. The tree was poisoned in 2006 but was preserved to now stand as a permanent memorial. Around to the supermarket to stock up, packed it away and set off for Lara Wetlands. A long trip today. 28km later we were at the turn off. There was a car and van parked waiting for us to turn in. It was the ladies who were our neighbours at Lake Dunn. They were just leaving after 2 night here. We talked to them for a little while before heading 13km down the dirt road to Lara Wetlands. Booked in with the caretaker and the drove around the Lake to find a spot. Set up and then chatted with a couple walking by before having some lunch. Had a wander around for a look and then joined another couple in the hot springs for a soak and chat. Others came and went joining in our "places to see" discussion. Returned to the van for the evening.
