Question: Savannah Way

You should have no problems doing this trip - it is a good road, lots of people use it, and trucks as well. Some good little towns along the way. Plenty of solo women, and men, out on the road either full time, or holidaying.

Allow yourself plenty of time, don't try and do too many k's in a day, spend time in towns, so you really enjoy the experience, and try some "free" camping along the way - you meet some great people.

Good luck.

Hi Sarah, My husband & I have done many trips and always meet both men & women who are travelling alone. You will usually find that in camp sites and caravan parks that people mix in together and generally look out for each other on the road. Enjoy your travels. Dianne & Geg

You do say you "dont" intend to go anyware remote but where exactly do you want to go ???
If you plan on travelling from Burktown to Boorooloola it may well be still to wet at that time of the year but that is fairly simple to check on at the time, 2 years ago it was still very wet mid April ....
We met a young girl WALKING ALONE from Cairns to Darwin past us (Doomadgee) so i think you will be safe in a car.....
Cheers

It is a great trip! Take your time and you will meet up with people as you go. There is nothing to worry about. Don't miss fossicking for saphires at Mt Surprise, the amazing geological museum at St George and Cobbold Gorge is a must - you can camp there but if the advice is that the road into the gorge is too rough for you take a day tour from Mt Surprise but don't miss it! We met a "middle aged" Swiss lady travelling that way on her own. She was loving it and had been on the road for several months in a 2 wheel drive Toyota Campervan. The road is quite good all the way to Karumba and all the caravan parks and campgrounds will make you welcome! Go for it! Lynne
