gees only been away from the computer a few days and missed lots in here...
brumbyrunner: thanks for your input, i was hoping you would comment as you have done it all before.
definately wasnt looking at one day stints when i divided that all up, just broke it up into arbitrary chunks. Wilbur is suggesting 3 days to Alice, I will probably leave early and do it in 4. Brisbane - Longreach in 14hrs doesnt sound very appealing to me..

Trust me. There is nothing you want to stop and see. If you must there is a nice dam outside Emerald that we stopped at last time or if you can't make that there are plenty of pubs in Rocky to sleep in. Remember no doze is your friend. OR bring and mate and share the driving.
I did get your message Megan. Thanks for the offer but I think I'm packing both a touring type tent and a couple of swags. Pretty positive I'll have a passenger this trip.
So I'm aiming to leave on the Monday, and be in Alice on the Wednesday. Geez I'm getting excited already. Got so much exciting stuff to do (buy) before then though.

hey Wilbur...
rang the park, they are OK with 2 cars on the one site and there is apparently tons of room for 2 touring tents. You have been allocated a pretty big site, so they have marked it "please leave on this site as they have 2 cars..."
I hope your mate doesnt snore

Re Four Ways - Julia Creek
Google Maps shows the Wills Development Road direct from Four Ways to Julia Creek via Taldora. is this an error?
"238 km – about 3 hours 1 min"
Sounds like we are talking about the same road?
I only put Four Ways - Julia Creek - Kynuna in so that we wouldn't be redoing roads you guys did last year.
I am sure the appeal of 110kph on sealed roads will see us travelling Four Ways - Cloncurry - Kynuna

Haven't really thought about which way yet. Depends on what day I get home from Fraser. If I am home on Friday and we leave Sunday then we will have time to play. Get home Saturday and leave Monday and it is a case of drive straight there the quickest and easiest way.Lightning_Silver_RX wrote:So I take it nobody wants to cross the simpson on the way there ?
Depends on what van I take at the time too. We are looking at options other than the one we took last time.
