Adels Grove to Normanton

Townsville, Queensland

Day 9: Depart Adels Grove early for the Burke and Wills Roadhouse. The Roadhouse is right on the route taken by the intrepid explorers Burke and Wills, hence its name. Make a stop here, fuel up your car and grab some lunch. The Burke and Wills trail continues as you drive north to Normanton where their last northern camp is signposted on the Normanton-Burketown road. They say never smile at a crocodile but today you could kiss Krys the Crocodile – replica of the largest crocodile caught in the world! If you choose to stay at the Normanton Tourist Park, enjoy a swim in the largest resort pool in the North West. While in town, check out the legendary Gulflander rail motor, also known as the ‘Tin Hare’, one of the last great characters of the rail world.
