Our last camp up in the Territory found us on Kangaroo Ck, a cute little place, we drove up a track about 500mts off the road & set up, did flick a lure but no joy – it was peaceful & lovely. Got up early next day & crossed the border – hello QLD, called into Hells Gate then moved on, drove to Burketown fuelled up & kept going. Stopped for a walk & look at Leichardt Falls (approx 180 klms SE Burketown) which was beautiful as the water was flowing but there were many ‘happy campers’ there so we kept going. It was amazing to see the high piles of sand & dirt that they had to move to open the road again – no wonder it took quite a while. we drove for another 30 minutes & camped up at a Telstra tower – very quiet & peaceful.
24th August, 2023. Got up early next morning & headed towards Normanton, saw lotz & a variety of critters on & near the road. Crossed the Bynoe River, lotz of water on one side & not much on the other.
