I'm staying here another day and then heading to Burketown on the dirt. Technically the dirt is actually still hwy 1. I will take it slow so it is possible that I'll take 2 days to get there, even though it isn't that far. I may stay at Leichardt Falls.

Then I'm going to head from Burketown down to Adels Grove/Lawn Hill. That road was described to me as the worst these people had ever been on. Then I'll probably have to go down to Mount Isa and across the border from there. If I can get a fuel container I might be able to go back up to Burketown and over to Booroloola. It is much shorter but takes about as long as the Mt Isa way and is a distance at the edge of my rang without fuel.

My purpose for writing all this was because I was likely to be off the internet for ages. So I drew on a map and realise that there is internet at Lawn Hill. So I guess I'll do an update from there.

Red is through Mount Isa, Blue is the top way. There is a big internetless gap after either lawn Hill or Mount Isa.
