Tennent Creek

TC is a very interesting place. There is a lot of activity with mostly tourists creating the hub bub. The locals are content to just sit under trees and watch the world go by. Gold mining was the main reason and although some small gold mining the main workings are now closed. The gold battery is open to tourists as well as a museum. Times were certainly hard in the old days. Just 5 ks out of town is a man made dam which is a recreational fishing, swimming spot for the locals. It's quite incredible to find such a place out in the dry dusty land and certainly a beautiful place.

After Tennent creek we stayed at a freecamp accross the road from a police station in the middle of nowhere. John was breath tested when we left in the morning ha ha. See you in Queensland Xx Son n John
