WINDORAH TO WELFORD NATIONAL PARK
Only a short distance to travel today, about 90kms, across the mighty Coopers Creek. What an amazing waterway! Down a one-lane bitumen road, with wide sides to access if road trains come the other way, but all we encountered were … Continue reading

MT ISA TO GUMHOLE CAMPGROUND, DIAMANTINA NATIONAL PARK
The country around Mt Isa was really lovely, with red, rocky hills, covered in white, multi-trunked eucalypts (like Mallees), a wide assortment of bushes and grasses and dips where creeks would flow in the wet season. The road was one … Continue reading

A long and arduous journey of 375kms (5 hours), at least two thirds of which was through bulldust, sometimes deep. It feels like you are driving though water or mud, and have little control over direction. Not my favourite surface! … Continue reading
Burketown to Mt Isa
We arrived in Mt Isa (or The Isa to the locals), one day early, only to find that the only site left in the park is meant for overnight stops and is right on top of two other vans, but … Continue reading

Longreach
4th August, 2007 We have again got internet access so we can update our journal. From Cania Gorge we travelled to Emerald in the central Queensland gemfields, a journey through undulating country with interesting changes in vegetation. Much better than … Continue reading

Cania Gorge NP
31st July, 2007 We have finally arrived at Cania Gorge right next to the National Park, after leaving the beautiful sunsets of Eurimbula NP. The ‘finally’ refers to our ‘short cut’, which took us over the steepest mountain we’ve every … Continue reading
