Hello there



I'd be really happy to discuss with someone who has done the Burketown Borroloola leg, things like road quality, water crossings and fuel stops.


the only thing that raises my eyebrows a tad is Burketwon to Borroloola.. the ADV guys will eb the best to ask on that road, last time i new, Hells Gate was closed or somthing o the likes, and that stretch was oh.. what of the top of my head around 600 odd km? at 1200km a day going that way on buses might be asking a tad much... again talk to the ADV guys. i've only been s far as Doomadgee from burketown, and it was all dirt and was absolutle shite even in the tojo. camoweal-gregory downs- burketown is all dirt and i've done that on the 600 and didn't enjoy that one little bit. burketown to normanton is oh 2/3rds dirt still at the least. I should try and get in touch with pete at augustus, he's head stockman there and i know he's been thru hells gate many times
