Sounds like a great plan mate, it feels good to not be restricted thats for sure.

I love Richmond. The road between Hughenden and Richmond is sealed but very up and down, and up and down, and ... oh you get the idea. It was also raining when I came across there in early November. I stayed in the Richmond van park for a few nights, and one in the hospital, and the people at the park were absolutely wonderful. They're also nomads and know the "rules". It's great country. It should be drier when you head west. The wet season has been particularly wet, even here in SA. Safe and happy travels.

We have stayed behind the pub at prairie. $10 pn powered from memory.
Also camped at Moorrinya National Park about 70K's south of Praire, good dirt road in. Hot showers via a donkey boiler, toilets
