Blue tongue lizard
Whilst in the thriving town of cloncurry we met a family with a pet blue tongue lizard who let the kids touch and hold it. Surprising who and what you find in the oddest places.
Wouldn’t be a trip without a breakdown!!
Well well, wouldn’t be a road trip if something didn’t go wrong somewhere!! At least this time it wasn’t my car breaking down… share the love I say! Anyhow, was a pretty good day driving.
