After getting some advice from people at Cobbold Gorge we set off off on 40k of dirt to Forsayth and then 70k of good road with a mix of sealed and smooth dirt to Einsleigh, very nice little town and some great shots of the rail bridge crossing to Lynd Junction. The road through to Hughenden is very poor to say the least going from sealed 2 lanes wide to a variety of 6" deep ruts of bulldust to small rocks and road trains thrown in, cattle grids and floodwater dips are at times sharp when they are on the gravel, the road drops down to single lane with no passing for road trains on many occasions, don't count on Porcupine Gorge for an overnight stay as this can be booked out on the internet apparently, and you won't know it until someone askes you to leave late in the day. There is no Ranger on site and Hughenden is 70k away for a late check in at a park. Not many alternatives for a free camp but there is a good site with water alongside a creek about 5k north of the Porcupine Park turn off (guestimate).
