An uneventful trip, stopping at Elliott for re-fueling. Arrived at Daly Waters before lunch and were shown to our site by a man on a push bike. We had a great site by a shady tree ($24 power).
They say the pub is the oldest pub in Australia. It has a great atmosphere filled with weird and whacky memorabillia. The bar staff were Irish backpackers and Pete was the only one who could understand them!!! We booked in for their special Beef & Barra BBQ that night and spent the afternoon relaxing under our shady tree watching the vans roll in.
The dinner was very well organised with 3 sittings available. The meal was excellent and the entertainment surprisingly good. The entertainer's name was "Chilli" and was a real bushy, comedian, bush poet and singer. We haven't had such a good laugh for ages. It was a unique nights entertainment and we really enjoyed it. We even bought his C D. Pete got it autographed because Chilli said he would get $1 more if he sold it on ebay. The pub has won the award for the best outback pub for the 6th time. It was an excellent night and everyone travelling in this area should give it a try. We walked back to our camp under a most unusual sky full of small white fluggy clouds, a bright moon and lots of stars.
