Calvert Road or what?

A couple of years ago we drove from Booroola to Normanton via the Gulf road or Highway 1 road quite successful. Yes, there is gravel and not a great deal of corrugations, patches were quite dusty, but one can expect that! It was a spectacular drive and plenty of spots for overnight camping. It took us nearly a week to do the section, but well worth it. The wildlife was great and just on dusk the brolgas and blue wing kookaburra try to outdo each other with their similar calls. We drove a Ford Escape and a 15ft caravan - not off road one!
