Tambo dinner after the chicken races. The next day, we hit the road again to Blackall, Barcaldine, and Infracome for a leisurely walk along the 1-mile machinery strip. Don't miss the old dozers! The buildings along the strip house some amazing displays. Keep an eye out for the resident bower bird!

Tambo was our next destination for an overnight stay. After visiting Tambo Teddies, the local museums, and art gallery, we headed to the Royal Carrangarra Hotel for some chicken racing at Ben's Chicken Racing in the evening, which was a fun event that raised funds for a great cause.
