Emerald to Townsville

Left Emerald Thursday morning heading north on the Gregory Dev. Rd. a good run not alot of triffic and sections of the road in good condition at 110Ks speed limits. Stopped over nigth at Cape River at truck stop everything was going well until the B triple decided to start up and continue his trip. Had a quick look around Charters Towers very impressed will be going back for a longer look very historical. Two nights in Townsville and having a look at what is to offer, a busy town and impressive along the water front.
Leaving here for Igham and more bush walking.
