Hi there Jonno and also to Lazylux,
Yes, that is the way we went, via Floraville. This is a T Intersection, we took the right turn to
Burketown and free-camped at the
Albert River camp spot on the
Burketown side of the
bridge on the r/h/s.
We also had some concerns but it all turned out fine. Experiment with tyre pressures and varying speed to suit the corrugations. We quite often used the other side of the road for a smoother ride. Spend some time to eliminate dust to a minimum but you will NOT completely eliminate the dust.Have a plan but dont insist on keeping the scedule, dont wreck your Jayco trying to stick to the planned schedule.
Lazylux, This road we enjoyed, my travel notes say we were able to cruise at 80 to 90 as far as a beaut
camp spot pretty close to where the road changes from North West to Sout West a few kilometres from Durham Downs. Free camped on a water lily covererd billabong on the
Mitchell River.
Second day from Durham Downs was nowwhere near as good as the first day. mainly corrugations as I rembere. Our trip was July 2013 so 3 years ago, road conditions change as we know and at this particular point in time, this section is closed (
Chillagoe to Dunbar Station I travelled out to Almaden and Mt. Surprise last weekend and read the big road staus sign. not sure if it said all the way to
Karumba or just
Durham Downs as this is the road to Kowanyama as
well.
Did not get onto any side tracks, e had enough clicks to do just getting to
