Has any one travelled from Mudgeeraba to
Cameron Corner trying to follow the Qld/Nsw border?
Towns I sort of figured out we'd go through would be :
Mudgeeraba - Tamborine the back way through the mountains...
Beaudesert
down the N.E hwy to
WarwickStanthorpe
Glenlyon - Silverspurs to get to..
Texas
Gundi (
Goondiwindi)
Carnarvon hwy to St. George
Balonne hwy up to
CunnamullaEulo
turn left go to Terramia (station???)
right to
Wanaaring\thurn left 79km to go to reola station (really wanna go to)
then onto Tib and
Cameron Corner....
I know the closer we get into corner region lpg is going to be unavailable but how far in does it dwindle....we should be safe at
cunnamulla shouldnt we??
and after
cunnamulla how many
places would have petrol???
any help or other alternatives??
would love to go to texas for the fun of it but not neccessary.....gundi we can miss - been there - but would really like to try to get to Reola Station....

If you're following the border, why not start at Pt Danger, past the airport, through Tugan, along Currumbin Creek Road , Tomewin Road and out that way. You'll be very close to the border, having to cross it several times :))

I think I'm on the same track as the other post...down to Mt Warning NP then to Kyogle up to Wiangaree then Woodenbong link up with the Mt Lindsay Highway which takes you down past Girraween and
Bald Rock...these are all great drives...beautiful scenery. Follow the Bruxner Highway to Texas..this follows the border then on
Yelarbon to
Goondiwindi. If you want to keep following the border go Goondi to Mungindi then up to
Thallon, across to
Dirranbandi then north west to
Bollon and the Balonne Highway. This is a bit meandering but if you want to follow the border it's a great drive..
When you get to
Cunnamulla you go out to
Eulo, down to
Hungerford through
Currawinya NP then down (you pass Terramie stn here) to
Wanaaring. I've been on these roads a few times and no problems...you have to open the
gate at
Hungerford to leave Queensland!! I've been on the road past Reola Station and its fine.
Eulo,
Hungerford and
Wanaaring have petrol as does
Tibooburra and the Corner Store

Stanthorpe?? then to Texas??? is there lpg on this way???why i ask is that we can only get 240km max out of our petrol!! not a LOL matter i tell ya!! would going to Casino from Kyogle a safer option for this i know that it isnt too outback-ish but i dont wanna run out of something on the way.....!!

The Mt Lindsay Highway joins
Tenterfield to near Killarney which is just south of
Warwick
Perhaps I got a little carried away with going all the way down to Kyogle..just that it's so lovely a drive but it probably takes you too low under the border. You could just get to
Beaudesert like you said originally then you would go south to
Rathdowney and that would take you to Woodenbong and then onto the Mt Lindsay Highway a bit further on. Then you could follow it down through
Bald Rock NP etc and hug the border to Texas.
Tenterfield and
Goondiwindi would have LPG as they are such big
places.
It's about 195-200 from
Beaudesert to
Tenterfield.
From there onwards I don't know about lpg. An idea might be to find phone numbers for some of these little
places...service stations, stores,
police stations, shire offices, caravan parks etc...just a contact number...phone them and ask. They live in the towns so they'll know what's available there.

With the
gate at
Hungerford, I've never worked out if they are trying to keep us southerners out or just not letting any Queenslanders escape!! No, really, there's something adventurous about actually having to open the
gate to get in/out. It's a bit like crossing grids that are real and not just painted lines on the road!! That thud thud of the
grid means "we're really outback"!!

Murwillumbah to Kyogle and Casino is a scenic and relatively easy drive. All fuels at those
places. Making your way west you should have no worries but
check first. 240Km ...I'm still wriggling my bottom to get comfy at 240K. At around 1240km I start looking for diesel LOL I can remember chasing petrol years ago on the Plenty...thats why I bought a dirty, slow , environmentally unfriendly etc diesel...best tourers I have ever owned.

It really is a lovely part of the world up there. The Lion's Road is another great and interesting drive.. I was surprised to find it all sealed this year. That border loop is amazing!! Would love to be there to see a train go around it.

Laura,
You haven't mentioned it but are you taking jerry cans for back up fuel? I've just read that you can get fuel at
Tobermorey and Jervois Stations on the Plenty so you should be able to top up at those
places. If you have full petrol tank and full jerry cans when you leave
Boulia then you should be fine. It's 249km to
Tobermorey, 219km to Jervois then about another 350km to Alice if you go in via Arltunga and
Ross River.

Hi
Laura,
Just double checked and put "fuel Tobermorey" into google and came up with a few sites....they all say that you can get ulp and diesel at
Tobermorey, but I think it's cash only.
Nowhere out there can help you with gas though so looks like you'll have to rely on petrol.

for normal undies:
right way front - winter - needs to be comfy so that you can sit still under the blankets comfortably
right way backwards - spring - your starting to be on the mov again..so you dont notice as much
inside out front ways - summer - hot time of the year so needs to be comfy
inside out backwards- Autumn - same as spring!!
for the female fancy type there are only 2 options!!!
right way front
inside out front
OOOOHHHHHH
