Welcome back to another week on the road.
This week we escape the build-up season in the Northern Territory and start the long journey towards the East Coast along the Barkley Highway. We make an overnight stop in at one of Australia's most iconic pubs, Daly Waters. Known for its quirky decor and lively atmosphere, Daly Waters Pub is a must-visit for any road trip through the Outback. In the middle of the outback, it was a nice sight to see a drive-through site with power and water, cooling off with the aircon pumping, and in there, two beautiful pools. Sites will set you back $40 per night, but the experience of staying at such a unique location is well worth it. Daly Waters is home to Tim's Junkyard, where visitors can explore a collection of vintage cars and other memorabilia. The friendly staff and fellow travellers make for a memorable stop on our journey towards the East Coast.
A couple of days and a few thousand kilometres later, we find ourselves in the small town of Julia Creek in outback Queensland. What was meant to be a quick and relaxing one-night stopover quickly turned into one of the most nerve-racking, scariest storms we've encountered. What can only be described as a small cyclone with howling winds, torrential rain, and flashes of lightning tore through this small town for nearly 2 hours, battering everything in its path. Trees and fences were uprooted, multiple caravan awnings were lost, and bins flew hundreds of metres away.
Anyway, we hope you enjoy this week's video. If you enjoy our content, please make sure to like and subscribe and leave us a comment we would love to know where you are all watching from!
