20200623 Qld Eromanga

20200623 Arriving in Eromanga the town that has the claim to fame of being the 'furthest town from the sea' in Australian, but the latest claim to fame is the paeontological discovery of Australia's largest dinosaurs on a property near Eromanga.  The towns name goes back as far as around 1860 and is thought to have come from an aboriginal word that means"hot gale plain" or "windy plains".

The Knot-o-saurus' sculptures, was constructed from over one kilometre of aluminium, features one large and two baby dinosaurs, modelled on the Sauropod.

Sauropod, is a very large quadrupedal herbivorous dinosaur with a long neck and tail, small head, and massive limbs.
There are certainly getting their point across, with only the truckies given access into Queensland.

The Royal Hotel was built in 1885 and is one of the town's original buildings and was once a Cobb & Co staging post.

The bar inside the Royal Hotel, she's pretty bare these days.

Les Cazneau would love to restore this wonderful 1920s ABC Manual Petrol Pump with glass 6 gallon cylinder.
I found this photo on the wall in the pub, sorry Mr Rudd but I couldn't pass this up.
We found this old 1966 Ford out the back of the pub and got in trouble for being there, this is private property the old bag said.

A blast from the Scotchman Mine where numerous discovery's of Opals were mined. 

A bunch of old relic's on show for all to view.

Unusual to say the least, maybe it was once a tree house.
Now that's a map, and a very good one of the area and surroundings.

If you look really close you can see a little head with sun glasses.
