Today we went to have a look at the Bilby but when we got there, there was no one to be seen. Had a quick look around and left dissapointed (sign on gate said exactly nothing). Decided to drive the 3k to the Information center to pick up a copy of the 'Outback Native Timber Walk Guide' that they advertise goes with a walk along the creek to help identify the 18 arid species on show, only to find the place locked up and deserted - again no notices.
Our observations of Charleville (right or wrong) are of a town that has no soul or pride and has all but given up, it appears dirty and unloved and I suspect that this photo of the Railway Hotel just about sums it up.
Broke, Busted'n'Burnt.
If it wern't for the Bailey Bar we wouldn't have stayed.
