Hi, after some advise please.

should we go
a) cloncurry to karumba and across to kennedy highway;
b) hughenden up kennedy development and then highway;
c) charters towers up gregory development, kennedy development and then highway or
d) onto townsville and up the bruce?

we will be driving back down the east coast eventually to sydney so option d is our least favourite but we are are travelling in an old hiace which will proabably influence this.

thanks
Ben

We went down to Tennant Creek to Camooweal, Lawn Hill, Karumba. MT Suprise to Cairns.

Lawn Hill was great.
Karumba very good (if you like fishing) need to book accomm there.
Mt Suprise - The Lave Tubes are very interesting.

Would not go back th Tennant Creek again, sad town in my opion.

Cheers Wato35

Ben,
with the old Hiace I would go from the Curry up to Normanton and on to Karumba if you want, then back to Normanton and across to Cairns or go to the Towers and up.

Both are good roads.

Have a good trip
