Great video. Really enjoyed that. But I think we can cross out Birdsville as a destination for us. No way is my wife going to sit for two days to go up the Birdsville track. I would love to do it but it is off my list as well because if I drive two days to get to the remote pub in Birdsville and they do not serve Lambs Fry, then I am not going either 😂😂

Re the courthouse. When we were out there a few years back we read that it still operates one day a year- the day after the races! Our niece was one of the police who attended during that time of the year. Accidentally drove up the top of little red on full pressures, thinking the road continued over and did a u-turn in our MU-X at the top and drove back down. We kayaked in the ponds around the town just because we can say we did. We also went through Betoota on our way out but at that time it had not been reopened (gazetted town with zero population) so cannot wait to see that on your next episode.
