Leaving Charters Towers heading for Hughenden, the country is very dry only the occasional flowering tree nothing else. along the way we made stops at Pentland and Prairie for coffee and to. Chat to the local people.
Just past Prairie we stopped at White Mountain National park to have a look at the rigged terrain and gorge system, This is the Great Dividing Range at 550m.
Then on to Hughenden and staying overnight. Was talking to a gentleman this evening and he suggested that we go out to the Porcupine Gorge that is 60Km out of town.
Wednesday up early and leave for Porcupine and arrive at 10 Am for a 1.2 Km walk down into the gorge and then walk about to see the sites and how the sandstone has been worn away over the years, then the 1.2Km walk back up from the gorge floor.
After lunch it was back to another part of the gorge for some sight seeing.
Back to Hughenden and because it was now three in the afternoon will stay again to night and leave early tomorrow for Winton.
