July 27 Hughenden (via Charters Towers)

Today we started our trek across the country on our way to Darwin. We were spending the night at Hughenden, but stopped on the way for a walk around Charters Towers.

Lunch was at a spot along the highway with a view of White Cliffs, and another tear drop camper pulled in behind us. They have been few and far between, so we were a bit excited to chat with the owner about her travel experiences.

We pulled into the campsite at Hughenden, it was definitely a place to only spend one night - this will not be recalled as one of the highlights of the trip… The town was ok and marks one of the point of the dinosaur trail.
