Hi everyone,
The old man & me are trying to work out the quickest way from
Adelaide -
Cape York for our upcoming trip next year...
As i will only have 4 weeks to do it in, we have come up with the following route:
Adelaide -
Burra -
Terowie -
Peterborough -
Orroroo -
Marree via
Hawker -
Birdsville -
Betoota -
Windorah -
Longreach -
Hughenden via
Muttaburra - The Lynd
Junction -
Ravenshoe - Pt. Douglas, then via The
Bloomfield Track to
Cooktown, then to the tip via the OTL.
Does this sound ok? Obviously we would need to take in to consideration the road conditions, etc.
Any advice/suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Cheers, Brad

Muttaburra, to
Hughenden, the Lynd
Junction, to

Thanks Roachie, we'll have a look at that option, too... At the moment we're just throwing things in the air & seeing how they come down...
How long did you have when u done the trip?
Cheers, Brad
