A Few Thoughts on Dirt Tracks

The road to Tambo, on the map looked like a road. 246km or so of road to cut across country, from Springsure…. It was however, tarmac for the first 10 minutes only and then rough surfaced with random cattle grids for the following 4hours!

Worth a treck though, just to see the wild Emus, stock men on horses, free ranging cattle, even wilder Kangaroos and incredible scenery. Everything you may picture the ‘true’ Outback Australia to be. The bush looks like bush. Red dirt and no town in sight.

We passed two trucks on that entire stretch of journey.

A full tank of gas, plenty of drinking water and some food are an essential on such a trip – whilst we are with RACQ, there wasn’t any mobile network – in the event of a problem we would have been stuck there for quite a while.
