Tuesday 5th August.
From Longreach it was then east to Barcaldine where we joined the Capricorn Highway, still heading east towards Emerald.
At a small town called Jerico we discovered a lovely camp area beside the river with town water available and a nice toilet block with showers. So.... We decided this was far enough for today after only 203 km's. We met two lovely couples who were parked either side of us, one from Canberra, the others from near Bundaberg. Over lengthy conversations I was able to get a fix for a problem I have of how to easily check tyre pressures on our rear tandem wheels. One of these gents operates a trucking business in Canberra and was very familiar with the problem as a number of his trucks have the same problem. This has been a source of annoyance for some time now.
It now comes down to purchasing flexible valve extensions which can be attached to the difficult valves, then mounted within the wheel rim of the outer wheel.
