Ilfracombe

Day 36

Although we didn’t stay in Ilfracombe, only 30km east of Longreach, we’ve dedicated a post due to it being the home of The Lynn Cameron Machinery Mile.  Both Mike and Colin were keen to work up the mile admiring all the historic machinery laid out on display.  Here are some shots:

On the mile there stood a shed hold an extraordinary rifle and shotgun, and a collection of old bottles including this one from my childhood in Tassie.

Sally drew Cols attention to some interesting décor in the local Wellshot Hotel where she and Jan had waited patiently with coffee for Mike and Col to complete their wanderings.
