As all these towns use artesian water for their town supplies, users have to adopt different principals when having a shower. As the water comes from the bore "hot" there is no "cold" water as we know it. So you start your shower with just "cold" water and if this is not hot enough for you then had some "hot" water from the water heater. It is not often that you have to use the hot water tap.
We met Michael and Judy at Mitchell and ran into them again at Charleville. Had "happy hour" each day with them and anybody else that came along. On Monday Michael invited us and two other couples for "tea at three" which included a "secret recipe damper" with jam and whipped cream (really came from the Womans Weekly), this was delicious. Three o'clock ran into four o'clock and then it was "happy Hour" again! Tuesday morning we swapped e-mail address and mobile phone numbers with Michael and Judy and left Charleville, heading for Blackall.

Some old steam engines, with the vortex gun in the background.
A couple of posts ago I posed the question: why was the water blue in one of the photos I took of the Moonie River? Well, the answer is refraction of light, have the sun behind you and refraction of light rays causes the water to look blue instead of muddy.
