Hey to all,
We have certainly dome some k's in the last few days. Travelling from Townsville to Mission Beach where we stayed for two nights going whitewater rafting down the Tully River. Enjoying the long quiet beaches with Dunk island in the background. Moving further north we cut in west at Innisfail and headed past Innot Springs where we swam in different thermal pools.
We travelled on the Savannah Way which would take us to our first rest spot, Georgetown. We enjoyed a quiet night after encountering many road trains on the way. In the morning we were off to Karumba, in the gulf of Carpentaria. Staying for only one night we managed to squeeze in a few hours of fishing in the late afternoon and early morning. The sunset was spectacular. Previous to that we had stopped in at Lake Belmore near the country town of Croydon where Luke hooked on to a 3kg black bream.
Heading on and parting with the gulf to head to Mt Isa, along dry and endless roads with many a road kill and extremely large hawks and eagles devouring these carcusses we would stop at Burke and Wills roadhouse. After refuelling our car would not start. Pushing the car and van away from the bowsers for a well earned rest we had some lunch. Fortunately, the car started and we were on the road again.
Got to Mt Isa in the afternoon to be greeted by Lisa and Ryan. Great to be in a house having a very nice home cooked dinner. We are ath moment being taking around by our tour guide, Lisa, whilst Ryan is working at the mine.
Looking forward to our trip to Lawn Hill Gorge in the days to follow.
Will post some photos soon.
Love Lauren, Luke and Lisa!!!!!!!
