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.

Now in Emerald

Left Bundy on Thursday the 21st and headed west through Gin Gin over Mt Perry and on to Monto, got some good bush walking through the Cania Gorge National Park (very impressive). The local show and rodeo was on Saturday night and made for an enjoyable outing.

Left Monto on Sunday and followed the Dawson Hwy to Springsure for the night, a short drive this morning saw me arrive in Emerald after a detour to the Fairburn Dam.
