27/6/2013 - 1/7/2013 Carisbrooke Station near Winton

27/6/2013 - 1/7/2013 Winton - Caribrooke Station - Winton

We had another day in Winton on 27th which included washing, shopping, and getting a B12 injection at the hospital.

On 28th we set out for Carisbrooke Station but on the outskirts of Winton we encountered a man carrying a couple  of fan belts. When Gerd stopped and enquired about his problem the man told us that he had broken a fan belt on his car about 60km out on the Cloncurry road, and had left his wife and baby son there with his camper. Gerd drove him back to his vehicle and waited while the repair was completed (he was very grateful) and then we returned to Winton and refuelled, another $38. Once again we set out for Carisbrooke.

The road was corrugated and stony in a number of places.

When we got to Caribrooke we found that we had to pay $25 per night accommodation fee and as well as that $60 to access the 4WD tracks on the property.

We enjoyed  the western mesa type scenery for the next 3 days.
