Our first dirt road with caravan near Winton, Queensland |
Today we had decided that we would be leaving heading to Hughenden with some time spent on the way doing a side trip, well best made plans of men and Gill we never stopped at Hughenden - we actually got as far as Pentland and a free camping area approx 36 k’s past there – a total of some 100+ k’s past where we were going to stop, never mind a good day.

Anyway we spent three hours there and would seriously suggest that if you are passing by their gate then stop and just see it all – well worth the $20 ea that it cost us.
We then continued on still observing lots of road kill until finally pulling into the free camping at or about 8 o’clock. Not really an exciting day to write about but there you go! We travelled around 500 kms through North West Queensland outback with only two towns and three or four very small settlements of about ten houses. Again plenty of road trains with varying numbers of trailers that certainly give us a wobble with the wind draught as they pass us.
