- This is the last stretch of travel, in QLD, before we hit the Northern Territory. And it did not disappoint! There are some amazing sights to see in this remote region. From life in remote communities to the rugged beauty of abandoned mining operations. Come and join us as we travel through “The Gateway” to QLD’s north-west and visit Cloncurry, Corella Dam, Mary Kathleen, Mt Isa & Camooweal

Thanks Paul and Wenda.

Another fantastic episode Paul and Wenda I can't believe they applied the discount at the caravan park. That's amazing. It must be because you are famous UA-camrs now.😉
Yeah I know, go figure? Haha
Thanks for the support Ed
Cheers Paul and Wenda
Thanks for this video with all those great recommendations. We soon may head in that rough direction and knowing there are so many dog-friendly spots really sounds great, as we travel with our dog. ♥ Thank you.
Thank you 😊 another follower asked if we could include that info so we’ve started to include it and it’s great to see its being helpful
Cheers
@@beyondthegreyoz absolutely helpful. We do that in our videos as well and hope others find it helpful 👍.
intriguing title ! 🌄🏜️🛻☀️📹🤙😎
Thanks 😉
You two are having a great time🤗
Haha yeah we are 😉 almost feel guilty 😂
Don't feel guilty were caravaning in Scotland this week👍
@@robertwalker3902 awesome, where in Scotland?
@@beyondthegreyoz Dumfries and Galloway which is the south west part and very rural
@@robertwalker3902 yes we have driven through that area some years ago. Safe travels!
Yep, was wondering if you guys could cook - lol
😂 thanks Tony
Cheers Paul and Wenda
should have waited unit I commented - so different since we were there> I loved it
It’s amazing how much places change from one visit to the next!
Everywhere's so quiet compared to when we went through last - there were hundreds camping at Corella Dam. And so green!!! Shame you didn't stop longer in the Isa - there's lots to do and see.
Thanks Jeannie, Yes it’s very quiet, a bit to early on the season and floods have kept people away. It does have some advantages as well for us, but we feel it for the towns missing travelers
Totally agree with Mt Isa, we regret not staying a bit longer. Next time!
Cheers Paul and Wenda
Thankyou for another fantastic episode
Thank you we’re glad you enjoyed 😉
Cheers
Drovers centre is such good value. You could easily spend many hours there. The narrative and life stories and their in person presentation are fantastic. To sit and listen this Stockland life story of driving all over Australia are a highlight.
Thanks Allan, Yeah it sounded like it would be good. We’ll have to call in on our way through next time
Cheers Paul and Wenda
Did you notice the goat registration tags? Find any Cloncurry parrots - they are beautiful - And both those free camps are great- getting a camp spot can be difficult at times - but worth it! - As you know!
We did notice the parrots! Yeah sometime the best spots require a bit of effort but the reward ❤️
Two of my favourite camps in Queensland. Never seen them so deserted.
Haha yeah they’re pretty good spots! We were fortunate to have them to ourselves
Thanks for showing around the campgrounds and not just the attractions - little things like this make a good holiday.
Our pleasure, thanks for watching 😉 we’re glad it’s helpful
Cheers
Maybe you should let the dog have a drink in the mine dam because then you will have a glow in the dark dog😊
Now that’s a bright idea 💡 😆
Sad how the town of Mary Kathleen is slowly falling apart but well worth the visit. Glad you stopped by the Dam for the night, could see the usual camp spots well under water. The wet season has been a great one around there. Camooweal was under flood if you had visited a couple of months earlier too . (ABC had some great video shots if you want to google them, won't share link)
Love how the outback springs back. Enjoy your travels.
It’s interesting to see the environment reclaiming the town. There certainly was a lot of water around. We were delayed waiting for roads to open. It is so green, and looks amazing and the bird life is prolific
Cheers Paul and Wenda
All tracks are classed as rds if ya in a cruiser 😅
😂 so true!
It is probably way too late but just in case. A real treat is to camp on the billabongs just on the NT side of Camooweal. Cross the river and turn left just out of town.
Yeah that was last week, but we’re headed back that way later on n the year, so we’ll add it to our list 😉
FRANKIE GOES TO HOLLYWOOD!!!
Thanks 😊 I think 🤔
