Day 10: Wake up in the home of The Black Stump and enjoy the slow pace of an outback morning. Or if you are feeling energetic, start your day with a swim in the Artesian Spa or perhaps a few laps of Blackall’s Olympic size pool. Many a sheep has been raised on the properties around Blackall – Jackie Howe, Australia’s most famous shearer shore a record of 321 sheep in seven hours 40 minutes in 1892 at nearby Alice Downs Station. Spend time at the Blackall Woolscour – the only fully intact steam powered wool-washing plant in Australia and visit the Lost Art Workshop. Heading south along the Matilda Way you will arrive in Tambo, Australia’s Outback Teddy Capital, and home to the Tambo Teddies. The bears are made onsite in the workshop by local artisans. All are individually named and numbered, with each bear given an official name representing a local property. Call in and watch a bear being made, and perhaps meet your new lifelong companion. Tambo offers some tasty lunch options, so allow time to either dine in or purchase a picnic to enjoy before you continue your drive to Augathella.
