I'm a little bewildered as there is only one way to go without adding several hundred kilometers to it, maybe you should just try google maps, sorry but I'm a practical person.

Mackay to Emerald and onto Longreach is the go. If don't want to go into Clermont just turn left at the roundabout. The 41 can be very hit and miss and most times of little or no benefit timewise
