DAY 25 12 JULY ELIZABETH CREEK TO DOOMADGEE

Road was pretty good all day but I was knackered.  Only just made it out to the bitumen for a very slow run the last 8 km to Doomadgee.  Everyone very dry. I drank a 1.25 L softdrink at the roadhouse.  We then went in to Doomadgee to stock up supplies at the (very large,  well stocked)  store. I drank nearly 2L of flavoured milk at the shop.  Loaded up we headed about 4 km out of town to camp. Went beyond the sewerage ponds to camp beside the rubbish tip. We could still hear the “thump, thump” of the local band until about 5 in the morning.  

What looked like the Qld gov. twin turbo prop

plane buzzed the town while we were shopping.  It seemed to leave about 10:30pm when the main (but not all)  music stopped.
