Saturday 18^th February

We finally get away, around 11.30am, which was a bit later than we expected. However we made it to Albert where the Rabbit Trap Hotel is before 7pm.

According to the maps, Albert is supposed to have the largest rabbit trap in Australia, but it doesn’t, it’s not finished yet. It was supposed to be finished several years ago! However the Rabbit Trap Hotel is a really great Aussie bush pub. The food is fantastic and cheap and the camping is free.

When we pulled into Albert, population 11, the pub was overflowing out onto the roadway! There was a buck’s party there, as well as many locals. We ended up talking to local sheep farmers and several of those in the buck’s party. They are always very friendly at the RTH and the publican introduces himself to you on arrival.

It was a very loud night which finished sometime after 3am, but we had retired well before that.
