Arrived Mount Isa, which should be our last Queensland stop. Amazing playground, just missing some toys for the big (30+) kids...

Arrived Cloncurry, after a detour south from Normanton rather than west due to apparent road problems further along the Savannah Way (unfortunate, as it would have been good to add a Hell's Gate Roadhouse stubby holder to the collection). Hangar pictured still has 'QUEENSLAND AND NORTHERN TERRITORY AERIAL SERVICE' sign - nearby plaque explains 1st QANTAS commercial flight was Charleville to Cloncurry, 2/3 November 1922.

Arrived Karumba - best part of the journey was spotting many brolgas on the last leg from Normanton (tried to stop and photograph, but a bit tricky with, strangely, none of the brolgas hanging around areas with sufficient space next to the road to pull over - too worried about road trains to stop on the road). Apparently one of the best places around to watch the sunset, as the photo taken over a beer at the Karumba Point Sunset Tavern hopefully illustrates.

Arrived Georgetown (looks pretty bare on Google maps). Great scenery on interesting drive inland, despite the occasionally very narrow roads and cattle blockades. Pub looks as if it's being fixed up after extensive damage, so hopefully kitchen and kegs are still OK...

Arrived Tinaroo...
