Hi to anyone who has towed a van to
Chillagoe from
Mareeba during the past few days please.
I have done a search and cant find any recent information on this.
Just wondering what the road is like mainly for the last 30kms or so which is supposed to be unsealed, and whether it is ok to tow a Jayco eagle there? I am asking for my inlaws who are travelling with us.
Also if anyone has stayed in town- is the caravan park open there or is there somewhere nearby to stay? We are keen to see
the caves and surrounding country and I would like to stay in town rather than travel in from Dimbulah, even if the other couple do this.
Cheers,
Heather

Down just past the
waterhole where you go swimming (great rope swing) is a great spot to set up for a few days. Ask the locals about
the caves theres some great ones that the info centre wont tell you about or ask for the cavers club number they will take you on some great ones ( if in town that week end)tourists dont see. A must do is the old BP fuel depot the old bloke has a great collection of fords. Also have you been up to Mt Mulligan via
kingsborough and I think its called oconnells
mine tour my family loved that area with all the old cemetaries. Cheers Tony
