On the Road Again! Winton to Mt Isa

Distance travelled today 466kms
Distance travelled so far 4,137kms

There was considerably more roadkill on this stretch of our journey today between Winton and McKinley, to be honest up to now it had been negligible! With roadkill comes the flocks of scavenger birds and the occasional hawk/eagle. Today we started on the Landsborough Highway....

Our first stop was Kynuna and stopped at the Blue Heelers Hotel for lunch, quite reasonably priced. You can sign the wall too if you make a donation to the Royal Flying Doctors Service!
There were two Brolgas in the carpark when we arrived and when we came out they had come quite close to the pub! (11) Facebook 

It was then on to McKinlay and the Walkabout Creek Pub from the Crocodile Dundee Movie! (11) Facebook It was a nice stop for a drink as the temperature had risen to 29'C.

We turned off the Landsborough Highway and onto the Flinders Highway. Saying goodbye to Matilda Way.

We stopped briefly at Cloncurry for a stretch and driving break only, as we return here tomorrow and will look around then.

Time to change highways again and onto the Barkly Highway.

Arrived at Mt Isa and found our accommodation Townview Hotel right at the beginning of town.Welcome to Townview Motel in Mount Isa A very spacious room with a 3 piece cane lounge!

We then headed to The Overlander Pub for dinner - Rump Steak special $13.90 which was just amazing and then 4 scoops of flavoured ice-cream for $5.50! Highly recommend the food here! Home - Overlander Hotel Group
