After leaving Monto in the Burnett Region of Queensland we drove along the Burnett and Leichhardt Highways before turning onto the Capricorn Highway heading west towards Emerald. Not long after this intersection we came across Dingo Roadhouse. The small community of Dingo is mostly off the highway but the Dingo Roadhouse is on the main road and a popular spot to stop and break the journey.
They have fuel, large restaurant area and lovely shaded seating to enjoy a picnic lunch as well as public toilets. We parked out the back and walked around before finding a table in the shade to enjoy our bread rolls. Then we saw the most unexpected thing as we were just about to continue our trip. A small plane had landed at the back of the roadhouse and was taxiing towards the carpark. It had flown from Cooktown and landed here to refuel. Shortly after another plane landed and the two men walked their planes to the fuel pumps. Only in the Outback.
