From here we went to the Reptile Centre, and Ronan finally saw a frilled neck lizard! Although he didn't put up his frill he was still pretty impressive, as were all the other reptiles in the centre. We got another chance to hold a snake, which Ronan and Stella both jumped at, and also some bearded dragons and even I held one of those.
It went to sleep cosied up in my neck. The centre also had more snakes, more lizards, some turtles, goannas, and a salt and fresh water croc. We had a great time there. A big favourite was the thorny devil. He was awesome!
We then got in touch with Ben, a guy Troy used to visit to help muster cattle. We drove out to Undoolya station to visit with him and his family. Troy got to reminisce with Ben about the times he visited to muster and about the original homestead as he remembered it. Not a lot had changed. We had a few beers with Ben and his wife Nicole, before heading back to town.
Tonight, Sue, Graeme, Troy and I left the kids to run amok in the caravan while we went out for Thai, and then to see Hughsey. Turned out he was in town for a show, and he was very funny!! We had a fantastic night, then returned for a few hands of 500 before bed.
