Trehob
Planning trip GC Road, Kings Canyon, Alice,
Borroloola,
Lawn Hill,
Karumba, Mt Isa, Matilda Hwy,
Monto,
Emerald, Qld coast
Bowen to Hervey, Nth NSW coast, Inland thru Armidale Dubbo,
Hay then back west. Have Rodeo CC and CT will be on road for 3 months, some camping exp. first major trip. Prefer staying at caravan parks, stayed at "park" at back of
Paynes Find pub and experienced My Augustus ablutions,
so have experienced bottom end of market.
Someone may be able to help with a few queries.
1. From Kings Canyon best route to Alice, via Hermansberg or
Glen Helen, quite happy to do a day trip from Alice to see anything missed on the way thru.
2. From Barkley
Homestead to
Lawn Hill, had planned thru
Borroloola but heard about road via Kingfisher being impassible wondering whether best going via
Camooweal. possible to see
Borroloola next trip via Dawin.
3. Any good fishing charters and Island cruises for wife and me, both closer to 60 than 50.
4 Things not to miss that may not be on maps or will be worth the detour and
places to avoid.
Trehob.

Trehob,
Camooweal to
Lawn Hill shouldn't be too bad, as they've just had
Gregory River Canoe Races early in May. The Isa council always grades the road prior to the races. Some of that road is bitumen now too, far cry from when we lived near
Gregory, 18 years ago.
If the section from C'weal, via Undilla is a bit rough, you can always go down to the other turnoff, towards Mt isa, and turn left there. Gives you some extra black top too.
Worth a night's
camp at
Gregory Pub, down on the river. Looks like suburbia during the season, but a pleasant spot. All that clear running water....
Hooroo...
