Mount Isa Caravan Park, we made it!

This is the second part of Day 8 for my family and I, it was time to leave the Walkabout Creek Hotel and drive the rest of the way to Mount Isa Caravan Park in Mount Isa.

After leaving the Walkabout Creek Hotel in McKinlay we had to stop for lunch still as we hadn’t eaten.

The next best town to stop at for us was Cloncurry.

There is a Puma Roadhouse on the right hand side of the road as you come into town.

They have pretty good food and not too bad prices on petrol too if you need it.

So we had what was becoming the standard, egg and lettuce sandwiches and chips.

Stopping off in Cloncurry meant we only had an hour left to drive before we got to Mount Isa Caravan Park.

Walkabout Creek Hotel, where’s Crocodile Dundee?

Written by Troy Spro

Today’s plan for Day 8 of our Outback Queensland Adventure was to visit the Walkabout Creek Hotel on our long drive to Mount Isa.

Most caravan parks on the trip so far require that you are out of the park by 10am and Matilda Country Tourist Park was the same.

So the morning ritual started off with breakfast and packing up the camper trailer.

My good friends at Google Maps tell me the drive from Winton to Mount Isa will take approximately 5 hours.

This would be a drive time without stopping, towing a caravan, and also without a car full of kids.

Therefore we expected it to take a little longer than this.

We said goodbye to Winton around 9.45am and hit the road to our first stop, the Walkabout Creek Hotel.
