Jenna at the Birdsville roadhouse is the first person we met in Birdsville and she gave us such a huge friendly welcome and all we did was walk in. Everyday we got extra cold drinks, great iced coffee, fresh groceries and most importantly directions to the best part of the billabong, where to go on little and big red, the roadhouse is so much more than a fuel stop. Travelling with friends we were in Birdsville for Australia day. Summer in the outback, best done with friends, power for aircon, and townsfolk like Jenna and rsnger Don.
