There is a new concrete bridge over the Dawson River at Baralaba to overcome flooding.
Once over the bridge you can turn right onto a recently sealed road, past the Baralaba Coal Mine, then follow the Dawson River north to meet with the Capricorn Highway, 19 klms east of Duaringa, or turn left, drive past the entrance to the golf club, then be amazed at the 3 lane, sealed, straight new road to Woorabinda entrance. Turn right here for another sealed 3 lane straight drive to Duaringa.
Many roads throughout central Qld have been improved, to meet the requirements of the many Coal Mines.
Also the road from Eidsvold on Country Way, thru Cracow, free camping, to Theodore is another wide, straightened sealed road.
Thanks John , When I left Duaringa last time I was there i couldn't get any local advice on that road , Went to Theodore via Banana stay at the Theodore showground $15 a night , Yes good road now from Theodore to Eidsvoid stay overnight at the free camp on the hill at Cracow with power .
