I have just used this section of ExplorOz to check mileage between Windorah & Quilpie.It gave a distance of 380k's & showed a route via Welford Lagoon & Advale.
I haven't been out this way for 8 years. Is the Diamantia Dev road still the shortest route between these two towns?
Thanks for any info.

The hema road atlas shows a solid red line with 248 alongside it. Why use a travel planner for this simple journey? ? ?

Thanks Ken.
I was showing my young grand son how to look up maps on this site & we used Windorah/Quilpie as an example.I knew the Dev road was the normal route however couldn't work out why the route directions deviated from the main road.
We will be coming home from Birdsville late July.
Regards.
