Great place to visit for an ale,but the lazy sloths woudnt open the lunch bar till 12.30pm.until they had scoffed themselves,so we called at the asian bakehouse in Putururu,magic tucker.

Mungeranie Roadhouse - about half way up the Birdsville track.
First class hospitality and biker friendly to the point that it has hollows carved in the bar floor (surprisingly deep too) where people have been doing burnouts with the front wheel up against the bar.
It's a fair ride from here though, so you won't get there this afternoon. Oh, and the roads are gravel (some of it rough and deep) for about 500 km in all directions, so you'll need some good tyres. There's a pretty major water hazard early in the trip too.
Phil, the owner/manager is one of the best and full of information on local history. He's been known to have a genuine Cuban Havana hiding behind the till too, just waiting for someone to ask the right question.
