Travel back through Normanton this morning then follow the Burke Development Road for approximately 200 kilometres to the Burke and Wills Roadhouse. You will be travelling through mostly cattle country along this road. See the contrasting colours of this rugged landscape; the black trunks of the gidgee scrub; golden Mitchell grass; and enormous rust red termite mounds. The Burke and Wills Roadhouse offers fuel, meals and basic accommodation (cabins, campsites and powered campsites). Leaving the roadhouse, take the Wills Development Road northwest for approximately 148 kilometres to Gregory Downs before driving north to Burketown. Burketown’s Artesian Bore is an ideal place to view wildlife, especially birds either early in the morning or late in the afternoon. Drilled in 1897, the bore still issues boiling water, creating a billabong effect which attracts masses of birds. The clear night skies and lack of light pollution in Burketown provide a stargazing opportunity like no other. Join the local Gangalidda-Garawa people as they share their cultural stories of the night skies on the Yagurli Stargazing Tour.
