We booked three nights in Charleville, and that was about right. We would have liked to have done the night time viewing at Cosmos, but we will do that next time.
One thing that was very interesting was the US and WWII Charleville connection. I hadn't read anything about that and except for a WWII 'follow-me' car tour, nothing else could be found ........
HOWEVER ...... as Peter likes to go down dirt tracks, we did find a number of recorded sites. Really interesting and a surprise.
We had gone back to video the weather balloon release and found....
Happy Travels

This is the original US plane hanger - now used for the Royal Flying Doctor Service.
Site of the shower and toilet block.
The US hospital - surrounded by kangaroos. The US force also helped to build the new Charleville hospital.
The men also dug holes in the ground and lined them with bitumen as an extra way of keeping clean - and I'm sure cool!!! It's pretty hot here.
All these sites are around the airport.
An interesting mail box, just outside Charleville on the Avavale Road.
Tuesday night at the Van park was lamb on a spit night. Yuck - but Peter and Jonnie enjoyed it.
The camp bar.
Dinner. $20 for lamb and veges and apple crumble with cream and billy tea.
My purchases in Charleville - a beautiful new hand-made appliquéd cushion ($1) and 4 metres of fabric ($2.50).
Happy Travels
