Scary Ride! Fountain Springs Rest Area to Mt Isa - 60kms

Packed and breakfasted by torchlight as usual.

At 10kms we hit the highest hills of the ranges and did a fair bit of walking. Big road trains came at us from both directions. With little or no shoulder to escape to, we often had to rely on the skill of the drivers to keep us safe.

At 25kms we left the hills with a fantastic downhill run and eventually, after another long, roller coaster ride, we arrived at Mt Isa.

Vacancies at motels were hard to find but we finally found a room at Forth Street Motel - further from CBD than we'd have liked, but glad to be here.
