mount isa to Camooweal



Left Mount Isa yesterday and moved the 188 klms to Camooweal. Wow and WOW again, what a place. As you can imagine, there is not a lot here either, but I think that that is what makes some places special.One pub, two roadhouses (fuel) a general store, town hall and a population of 310. But there is also an awesome tourist attraction called the Drovers Camp. You need to get here sometime and see that. Camping by the Georgina river is free but there are also 2 caravan parks in town as well.The free camp has two different sections to it, both glorious. The first, closer to town is obviously shallow. and contains no fish to speak of. The second, we are told, has both perch (yellowbelly) and red claw (yabbie) and sometimes you may even see a jabiru there. Resident pelicans control the second section as well. Cattle roam freely here, there is a sign as you leave town saying road unfenced next 190 klms.
