18/7 Second campsite on the QAA line, the last night in the desert!

We were in no hurry so we decided to spend another night in the desert close to Big Red.  This would give us time to reach Birdsville midday.  So we left camp and headed East along the QAA Line and drove until we found a nice camping site about 7 km west of Big Red.

Along the way we had a fair few oncoming traffic.  A convoy of 14 cars from one club and another 9.  Pretty busy day on the sand dunes!

Along the way we encountered the pink tree fairy!  Someone with a sense of humor had put some pink tutu and pieces around a bush standing next to the track.  See the photos below as whoever it was did a pretty good job!

After stopping for lunch we didn't drive for long as we found this nice flat spot under a small sand dune, well of the main track.  We had some interesting cloud formations and then a decent sunset.  We had our usual campfire and toasted for the Simpson desert!

Waiting on passers by!

I've made a new friend!!

Watching the campfire embers is always facinating!
