Would highly recommend...

Does anyone know the distance from Cue to Wagal Rock as I will just make it a full day trip from Cue. Would appreciate any other areas/places to see along the Great Northern Highway....

Smear some petroleum jelly on the cotton ball, the more you put on the longer it will burn and just use as a fire starter...
