Clem Walton Park/Corella Dam Qld What's the road in like?

Thanks Bush Camper, might have to do that. Cheers.

The turnoff to Clem Walton isn't suitable to turn a 'van or a rig like yours around(if you decided not to take the rig in there), but about 4-500 metres towards Mt Isa, there is ample room to turn your vehicle around, on south side of the highway. You could safely leave it here, while you did a quick recce, in the little one.

There is a road that heads off from this spot too, that I believe heads down to the lake. Water trucks were using it earlier in the year, when they were carting water for the access road to a mine, not far from Fountain Springs parking bay.

Can endorse what Slow said about the late Mary K township. Bitumen roads, plenty of ghost gums and there are also the odd cement slabs still there, that would make for a very neat camp. I went in there in a Falcon sedan, so road wouldn't worry you.

Fountain Springs is very popular, and if you're missing the closeness of suburbia, then you can get a fix here quite easily. :-)

Cheers, Slow one,
heard that there were a few red claw to be had, not sure how long ago that was when they were there, no good if is it drizabone!
Had not contemplated Mary Kathleen but might be nice to have a look, sounds interesting!
Thanks heaps

PS meant to add that I don't believe that the road into mary Kathleen was much good at all.narrow in spots and quite degraded in spots. Also there may be height issues where you have to cross old water courses
