Birdsville and stay at the pub.Thanks, Bazza

Bazza,
Both roads to
Normanton, and
Boulia are bitumen. However most of road is narrow "Beef Road" type black top, about 4M wide.. They have put a few overtaking lanes in the
Winton-
Boulia section, though at times you'd need heaps of grunt to make use of them!!
Fair bit of bitumen from
Boulia to B'ville now, I'd take your van. The gravel is often nearly as good as black stuff, but if it isn't, then drive a bit slower. Lots to see, enjoy.
Hooroo...
