Can anyone tell me what this road is like. It goes from Bowen through Collinsville to Belyando Crossing. The Camps 7 book shows the last bit, over 50 ks is not sealed.
But books can be wrong sometimes. Has anyone travelled it lately.
Hi I also will be keen to hear word on this ,Last year I traveled from Bowen to Glenden on the development road and it was good sealed road to the Glenden turnoff but not sure for how the road ahead would be , I rang the Glenden Police before I under took the trip , Maybe if you dont get any replies you could ring the Collinsville Police station
Marj just rang Glenden Police and he said he would not recommend the Bowen Development from Glenden turn off to Belyando road is sharp schale and is very hard on tyres .
Thank you so much for that Brickies. Had been thinking overnight it I got there and found it not suitable, I could turn left through Glenden to Elphinstone on to Nebo and down to Clermont that way.
My thoughts have been confirmed. That works out well.
Marj good road from Bowen to Nebo via Glenden and Lake Elphinstone Did it last year . Also don't forget Collinsville showgrounds free camp with hot shower and worker club across the road and IGA in town , Lake Elphinstone was having a new amenities built should be finished now . We did Townsville to Collinsville : Collinsville to Lake Elphinstone via Glenden , Two easy days
we are on a station in this area and the dirt roads are getting very corrugated and chopped up as there are a lot of cattle being trucked south. We had considered this route for when we leave but have decided to go back to the Burdekin dam then back to Charters Towers then head south.

Jenny and Barry is the road from Collinsville to Burdekin dam been repair at the Dam wall last time I was there the concrete road at the Dam wall was impassable and the road was fenced off
we came across the spillway at the dam wall at the end of May - was all good despite a puncture a few k's further on - that section of road is very 'shaley'. The station owners here have punctures about every 4th trip to Charters Towers. Am not looking forward to the return trip in August as the road will be worse by then.
