Roadside picnic area

This roadside picnic area was just outside Longreach. Short stops ok, but don't camp there! By way of explanation, many retirees here become "Grey Nomads". This involves buying large caravans, then travelling around the country and staying wherever there are facilities.

For now, all we need are benches for a quick Monday visit, so Happy Bench Monday everyone and have a good week.

Plenty of places to sit with a picnic, George. I fancy becoming a grey nomad, but I'm not keen on caravans.
HBM and enjoy the week.

Interesting facilities George. I had a closer look at it on Google Streetview. Are the four elevated tanks (behind the road sign) holding fresh water? HBM and best wishes for the new week.

An interesting shot here George and I have mixed views about the Grey Nomads and places like this. As an x-caravan owner myself I was often dismayed at seeing big empty car-parks with facilities, in the middle of nowhere, often in beautiful spots, banning overnight caravans and seeing caravans having to drive miles further along narrow roads in order to find a little layby to stop the night. Much better to have a low limit on a number of caravans if room allows for one night only. - I spy the picnic table and bench. Well done.

HBM - Have a good day. Herb
