Destination – Belyando Crossing Roadhouse 359km

Finally leaving the Bruce Hwy, We fueled up and gathered supplies and headed inland towards Charters Towers.  We stopped at the Burdekin River for a loo break and to check out the railway bridges, both old and new.  Apparently neither have been under water unlike the road bridge which flood regularly.  

Destination – Bluewater Caravan Park (app 30km north of Townsville)

Packed up and ready to leave. Never look forward to battling the Bruce Highway but with a full gut of Pauls tripple shot ice coffee, places to go and people to see.  Sally and I hit the road for another great Australian adventure. Didn’t take long to hit our first snag.  Only another 330km of Bruce Hwy roadworks and impatient travellers.
