423 km
Today we planned to reach beyond Emerald. However we diverted to Hurdle Gully Lookout, an unexpected 11km of dirt road followed to an unassuming view. We did have lunch here though.
The most exciting part of the day was driving through the coal mining town of Blackwater… yes… when you don’t stop anywhere and are off the beaten track…then this is excitement …hahahaha.
We ended up pitching camp at a very small pub backyard van park, in Bluff. Bluff has a shunting yard for coal trains, and is right along the highway. Thus its definitely not a quiet nights sleep!! It was too late to get to Emerald that day though.
