@robz We're thinking of leaving around Easter and heading across through Broken Hill, Bourke and Lightning Ridge. Then picking up the Great Inland Way to Cooktown, with a detour from Emerald to Longreach, Winton and Hughenden before picking it up again at Charters Towers. It's very early in the planning stage and things could change dramatically especially the way the weather has been. We have to be home by mid June because we're flying out to meet our daughter, SiL and grandies in Thailand on 25th June.
