Any way you look at it, Australia is a huge country - and occasionally you just have to bite the bullet and drive. With the weather up here starting to warm up and get more humid, it is a sure sign the build up to the wet season is approaching - and if we want to get to Cape York before the rains come, we needed to get cracking.
We left Bitter Springs early, with the aim of getting as far down the Savannah Way as possible before we all needed to stop. We decided to take the blacktop to Borooloola - some 550km from Bitter Springs. From Borooloola the road turns to dirt, and as we had made good time, we decided to push on to the Foelshe River.
Back on dirt roads again - Rocky was made for this sort of touring!
I am going to miss some of the road signs of the Northern Territory, This sign is found everwhere the road turns from bitumen to dirt. This example was found in the middle of a long dirt section - with dirt roads stretching for many miles in either direction. Just in case you'd forgotten I guess.
