Wellshot at Ilfracombe

Ilfracombe – This is what the holiday is all about, pulling into a little park and meeting like minded souls, a stay of 2 nights ended up being 4, happy hour was a hoot with the resident bush poets and joke tellers, it usually lasted until well after 8pm and by then there was nothing for it but a glass of red…we had to leave to save the livers, I know its probably a bit late for us anyway but the thought was there.
If EVER you heading to Longreach take time out to visit Ilfracombe, the Caravan Park Happy Hour and the Wellshot Hotel, great food, great people and money on the ceiling, ask Joanne how to do it , for a fee of course…but the fee goes to the RFDS or the local Museum so its well worth it - what a great little town, about 200 people they say live here and they have a mile of machinery on the road as you come in, sound terrible but its SO well done, in between the machinery are little old buildings with things from the past one houses rifles and flags!
Many, many more oddities along the mile long Folk Museum. In the Memorial Park they have a swimming pool and ...you guessed it...an Artesian Spa, bloody beautiful, especially as its around 34C. We've done the Stockmans Hall of Fame and the QANTAS Museum in Longreach - have some nice photos but can't get enough speed with this old 'puter to get them loaded and I can't take it out and about as the internal battery still has the DT's.

Mind you we did have to spend an extra day to get the car fixed…but thats another story....
