Spoke to some of the locals about Uncle Les. They know him has Puddy or Puddy Nose (don’t know where it comes from)
The guy at the Date winery remembered him fondly and said he ran a good pub.

We stayed at the pub and had one of their famous pub meals – pretty good T-bone steaks. There were 5 dinner guests that night, including us.
I’ve started drinking shandies – very outback.
Attended the Pub campfire (damper and golden syrup is all the go out here)
A surprising number of people passing through and staying at the camping ground behind the pub (at least 15 vans last night).

The Lizard race track is in good condition, but the races are not held anymore because of Greeny objections and some of the locals are not happy about it.
The earth Eulo is very outback red.

Even found a patchwork shop in Eulo. The Paroo Patch would have to be the smallest patchwork shop ever and it’s shared with the saddler.
The lady (Helen) had attended the Kaffe workshop when he visited outback Qld earlier this year. Left my card.

Bought some wine and Eulo honey at the Date winery and had a guided tour of the artesian mud baths. They even have a WWII air-raid shelter here.

No wonder Uncle Les liked the place. Everyone seems to have the same sense of humour as him.

Heading out of town, a bird hit the top of our windscreen. He met his end at the hands of the great white box.
The many emus and kangaroos by the side of the road can be a problem as they are very unpredictable and can run in any direction. Approach with caution.
