The Savannah Way........

We left Tinaroo & started the first leg of journey along the Savannah Way.  This pub in Ravenshoe is the highest in Qld!

Took a walk to the Millstream falls which are apparently the widest falls in Australia
when they are at their full capacity.

Sections of the Gulf Development Road are only one skinny lane
of bitumen.  It makes passing a road train a bit hairy!!

Stayed overnight at Normanton, a small outback town and
had an icy cold xxxx at the Albion Hotel. 

Tac checks out the monster croc in the Main Street which is
supposed to be a true replica of the largest croc ever caught in Qld.

The plains on the sides of the road are flooded after a bit of rain.

The sky looks amazing with the
rain in the distance.

A bit further on and the road starts to flood
in spots.  Imagine what it would be like
in a huge wet season!

We made it to Karumba a small fishing village on the edge of the Gulf of Carpentaria.
It is the only beach on the gulf accessible by a bitumen road.
