For those interested in the gulf country. We just come back from a 4 day run from
Cairns to Mt. Suprise to
Einasleigh and back. The drive through the tablelands was magnificent all lush and green and cool. Mt Suprise pub was a welcome stop and a good feed. Spent the day out at the
gem fields and swimming in O'briens creek, kids had a ball (dirt track out was
well maintained). Next day we went out to
Einasleigh (Few corrigations and washouts were clear) pleanty of water in the river for swimming and some good sites for
free camping.
Copperfield gorge is another great spot for a swim and jumping of cliffs will bring the dare devil out in you. Also it is something about outback pubs that the beer and rum and coke taste so much better,
Einasleigh pub was also a good stop.
Had a little rain over night but all in all a great trip.
