Vast areas of nothing

QANTAS Here is the first hanger of the airline at the Cloncurry airport. Yesterday we left Mt Isa and called into Cloncurry for a quick look around. The place is packed this weekend as they have an airshow, races and rodeo so expecting about 5000 people. We headed north and stopped overnight at the Burke and Wills Roadhouse.
ROAD TRAINS These size rigs are pretty common on the outback roads. Yesterday there was a bit of road kill, kangaroos, a cow and a boar. We did see some live kangaroos hopping across the road and a feral cat sauntered across the road.
We are now in Normanton and it is hard to believe that in the wet season the area is cut off. The area has a lot of cattle, so should be some good steak on offer. Up the road is Karumba which is famous for it's barramundi and prawns. Now that we are back above the Gulf of Carpentaria the temperature is lovely again sitting in the high 20's.
