The Tablelands Highway leads north from the Barkly Homestead Road House to the "Heartbreak Hotel" at Cape Crawford where it joins the Carpentaria Highway 109 km from Borroloola and 270 Klm from the Stuart Hwy. It is a lonely stretch of road with large cattle stations like Brunette Downs well off the road and for miles not a tree in sight. Todays photo's shows what it was like in 1969 North of Alroy Downs Station and what's like now, My father and I travelled North up there in 1969 in an Austin 1800 and the sealed road finished near Alroy Downs a few Kilometers north of Playford River. And that's the origin of the top photo.
