  • 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

    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.😉

    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.

    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.

    • @beyondthegreyoz
      @beyondthegreyoz  Рік тому

      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!

    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.

    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!

    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

    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.
