Has anybody been to Boroloola and Karumba???
(Preview)
We just checked the maps and at a rough estimate it would be around a thousand k's round trip off the Barkly/Flinders highway for either destination using sealed roads. A bit daunting to go to both places, which would you recommend???? and why? Comments please? Thanks!

Well we have done it. Bought a house in Buderim, moved in and looks like we are grounded, for a few months anyway. If anyone lives in the area we would really like to meet you. Also happy for visitors to the area to pop in if they'd like a cuppa, or, and a chat.
