Much of the road here is a single tar strip

Much of the land is divided into huge cattle stations

Typical roadside scenery

Every so often we see rocky hills

Road train and a controlled roadside burn
Forty Mile Scrub

A rare area of dry rainforest. The oxymoron is explained because the environment

Bottle tree, like a baobab it can store water and minimize water loss

Typical dense vine thicket
Little Mulgrave - Cairns

Back in sugar cane country
Fishery Falls

A small hamlet...

in the cane fields...
