One of the main attractions in Longreach was The Australian Stockmans Hall of Fame which featured the stockmen, unsung heroes and explorers of Australia. There were many exhibits showing the tools and techniques people used in the olden days. As we moved through the galleries, we saw the history of the post office, planes and rodeos. We then caught the two o'clock outback show displaying the techniques of how to herd sheep with a dog. Rusty (the instructor) also explained what animals and equipment he used to travel in the outback. We then went back to the Lili Rose Cottage to rest and later went for a walk in the outback. The sun was setting so the birds, kangaroos and wallabies were out. We saw many kangaroos although they were far away. The sun was setting in the distance as we drove back to the cottage at the end of another day. Emma :-)
