Made it to Townsville from Winton Good road all the way, used the Kennedy Development road , better that most NSW roads we call highways.
Apart for a small section just before Stamford , which I thought for a moment I was back in NSW, the roads so far are excellent.
Average passing 250 vans per day ( 7 hours) heading back south before the heat takes hold. 38 -40 Longreach Thursday now about 28 on the coast.
After traveling the inland route it has confirmed me as a coastal dweller which the old Labrador reckons is okay, Now have her in aircon kennel up the road a bit.

Well done out there! It's good to have an update of road conditions first hand. The dog would probably cope with the heat better than you, but if she's found a comfortable doggy motel life's good. Now take care and keep up the fluids. No, not beer, just water, but you can go one for one - beer, water, beer - oh bugger it, beer, beer, water, beer etc. Cheers Chris
