2020 presented huge obstacles to travelling, with uncertainty , lock downs, border closures, and different rules applying among the states. Hopefully things are back to an even keel, and we have much more confidence with making plans and booking sites many months in advance, as you have to do. John seems to be a frustrated travel agent and he has done the itinerary, planning and bookings.
Like many “grey nomads” we like to take our time on the road, so we are taking a couple of weeks to get to what we see as our first landmark site – Lake Argyle.
Manns and Langs will meet en route at Longreach and we will have a couple of days there. We join the Priests at Mount Isa with another rest day. But after that we travel quite steadily along the Barkly Highway, up to Katherine on the Stuart Highway.
