Road Advice - Savannah Way

Thanks John.
I take it that I can contact Lorella Springs directly for info (as in the message you have quoted from their Newsletter)?

But if you are going to be travelling that way yourself, it would be great if you could post here any advice/info you get.

If you google Lorella Springs it should bring up their website and you can ask to be emailed their newsletters. Their phone number is 08 8975 9917.

Thanks Wendy. I will call them. I have emailed but not yet got a reply. A lot of places don't see their emails regularly...

Hey Joe, Wondering if you have any caravans coming thru from Borroloola yet ie crossing the Calvert?

Yes we have, we had a Toyota coaster that came from Borroloola and the advice from "Cape Crawford" was NOT to go the calvert way so they went down to the Calvert Hills road and back up to the Savannah Way and by there map it was only a short drive down to the calvert crossing so they went and had a look, they walked it and said they would have taken the coaster over without a problem, that was 2 days ago so by that i would say it is fine, a lot of campers and vans are passing now but i have been a bit busy to have a yarn with them all........
Cheers guys
Joe

Thanks mate

Appreciate the advice Joe.

We have just arrived in Doomadgee (Gulf Country of QLD) and pulled up outside the Roadhouse. Surprisingly there is mobile phone and internet reception! Last night we camped beside a billabong, with no one and nothing else around except birds.

The trip has been lovely and we have seen some nice spots - as well as a LOT of bulldist and some corrugations. Many, many creek crossings. The creeks are of course a bonus, as most of them are flowing and clear water and have tracks leading down the side where one can camp.

The roads are in great condition and no creek crossing has been a concern. The Robinson was the deepest and it was not too bad.

We are just checking emails and waiting for Joe and Mel to get out of bed so we can say hello!
