Richmond

Well, we've been to Richmond in Victoria and to Richmond in Tassie, been near Richmond in SA and now we're in Richmond, Queensland.
About half way between Townsville and Mt.Isa and situated on the edge of Queenslands, longest river, the Flinders, lies this peaceful little town, now the dinosaur capital of Australia. A couple of nice and quiet days here as we take another good look around the town. The main employer here would have to be the Shire. The rumbling of road trains comes and goes as often as the trains are heard coming and going although the road trains are more frequent. Not sure how many double decks of cattle on three trailers and the trucks seemed to follow constantly the other day. Yesterday, the Victorian Variety bash came into town. About 85 cars and about 320 people  had the town booked out.Dinner at the local hall last night and brekky at the Primary school this morning. We went up to wave them off and they all looked as if they were having a ball. Finishes in 2 days on Hamilton Island for another year.
Outside temp about 34C here today and this is about average. Makes the afternoon very lazy. Moon rocks abound here as well. Photos to come of those. They were formed in the ocean, similarly to forming of a snowball and once again unique to this area.
