Day 19 - Return to Cloncurry

Anzac Day - Lest we forget.  Today was a "deja vu day" as we retraced our tracks 380km from Normanton to Cloncurry - an uneventful trip.  Overcast skies but no rain, so traversing the one lane bits of the road did not cause us any problems when faced with approaching traffic.  Some trivia, there are 50 floodways in the 179km from Normanton to Burke and Wills intersection, compared with 24 from Burke and Wills to Cloncurry.  This gives an indication of the Gulf Country waterways on what is a very flat countryside south of Normanton. One of the creeks was called "Hazel Creek".  Given Noel's Mum's name is Hazel, we could not resist the photograph. Looking at a beautiful dark pink bougainvillea outside our van. Oh, the smaller prawns from Karumba were excellent.
