Road conditions

Longreach to Quilpie is all tar, not sure about the rest.

Whitecliffs, Windorah, Quilpie a couple of weeks ago, all very good roads.

Julie,

Between Quilpie and Eulo you could visit the Toompine Pub and then head out to Yowah for a bit of opal fossicking. The caravan park out there was ok too...hot artesian baths - some of the bathrooms have no roof so you can look at the stars while you soak. We found a couple of pieces of opal and we didn't even know what we doing!!

From LR, we went via Ilfracombe and down to Isisford - camped on the banks of the Barcoo - great - then the good gravel road west across to Bimerah (along there, nearer the Jundah road end look out for those lines of roadside rocks thrown up by the grader - we found 90M year old small fossils in the rocks - that whole area was under the sea back then). Jundah was 'quaint' - the only town store was a hoot. We liked Windorah a lot (but we might be strange) - stayed there 3 nights and its pretty small - you can camp on the Thompson about 10k east, but the small CP was good. We went east after that, so I'll leave the southern parts to others - have a god one. PS - you'd better buy up big in LR - we found most of those little places south have extremely limited offerings it the way of tucker and hardware.
