RV TRAVEL
Barcaldine Heritage Centre
HUGHENDON
The dinosaur triangle returns to the Flinders Highway via the sealed Kennedy Developmental Road . At Hughenden , the Flinders Discovery Centre is mandatory , housing a life-size replica skeleton named Hughie , a muttaburrasaurus .
Continuing on the Flinders Highway , tiny Prairie and then Torrens Creek are next . Ninety kilometres south of Torrens Creek is Moorrinya National Park with camping for tents and camper trailers . An unsealed track leads to the Canns Camp Creek camping area for tents and camper trailers .
Charters Towers has everything a visitor could ask for . In fact , a visit could easily turn into a permanent move . The downtown area , with its historic buildings , is charming and gracious . In short , it could hold the attention of many an RVer for at least four or five nights . The Flinders Highway ends 138km along in Townsville .
Back at that junction , you might prefer the Landsborough Highway . We have already introduced Winton ’ s dinosaurs , but the town has more to do and see than just very old bones . In fact , the local history is tied to two volatile shearers ’ strikes that led to the foundation of the Australian Labor Party , along with the benefits and rights we largely take for granted today .
