Cloncurry

Monday - The car started first go so we decided to head towards Cloncurry and get a new battery and then work out where we would head from there. It was about 100km of dirt to Gregory Downs and then  a sealed road, it is nice to get away from the dust.  We stopped off at the Burke & Wills Roadhouse for a cuppa and Bacon & Egg rolls, we have noticed that most of the staff in the roadhouses are overseas backpackers.

The area appears a lot drier than the west and the cattle don't look in as good a condition, there are still a lot of people travelling north, there where at least 20 vans at the B&W Roadhouse.

Arrived at Cloncurry and had the battery replaced, turns out it is the factory original so 5 years is pretty good. On the homeward route now, we have decided that we are Gorged out so we are going to give Canarvan Gorge a miss this time and head towards Brisbane to see our relatives on the way home.
