Hi all,

A few options for going from Longreach to Cairns.

I'm doing it in one day so its a big drive and I'm looking for the most efficient route. May not be the shortest.

Have looked on Google etc.. and reckon Winton, Hugenden, Townsville. All sealed roads. But longest route by 100ks or more - but if the average speed is 10kph better then that won't matter much.

All input greatfully received.

Thats the way i would go and have gone....
Between Winton and Hughenden there is a pretty long stretch of single lane bitumen,,, great place for busted windows...

Longreach to Muttaburra via the Cramsie rd ,then to Torrens Creek via the BowenDowns rd that connects onto the Torrens Creek rd = 5.5 hrs Longreach to Townsville ,,
