Winton-Hughenden-Charters Towers
Another caravan site, another night in the tent with the temp hovering around 5 degrees Celsius.
So from Winton we are going north to Hughenden for a bit of the roadhouse food then into Charters Towers for the night. Met a couple from Tasmania and the subject got around to Tassie in September time frame. The reply was," A bit fresh!". Other words find some other place to go as it is cold and miserable. Recommended time frame would be December and after.
Charters Towers - The Lynd Junction - Ravenshoe,
Single lane road, road trains, dead cattle, roos, pigs and the what ever....It’s like a bloody meat market out there.
Ravenshoe had a -7 degree morning but with 17 layers of clothing on.....
And you want to argue the right of way with this Road train…………..!
Ravenshoe-Atherton-Maree-Mt Carbine-Lakeland-Helenvale-Cooktown
From Ravenshoe to Cooktown the roads were dual lane, weather got warm enough that I had to take clothing off. It was the best drive yet, the terrain was similar to driving the north coast of New Zealand's North Island. So unusual to be able to drive around bends and not have to face the straight of straight roads that are so much a part of the outback.
If anyone can tell me why there is a boat out in no where…………the nearest water is 100’s of km away
Some of that good deep fried, 10 day old food and free coffee to go along with it!!
It will be Cooktown for the night before heading north up to Archer River Roadhouse on the Cape York Peninsula. From the roadhouse there is no fuel for the next 600 km so it will be turn around time and head southwest to the Gulf of Carpentaria, Karumba Point.
