Dixie Koolatah Road
The Dixie
Koolatah Road is in southern central Cape York.
It is a handy shortcut between PDR and BDR,
... with the northern end at Artemis turnoff, and southern at Dunbar.
It has changed a lot in the recent years.
Most of it used to be just a track,
... but has been widened and smoothened heaps since.
Once past Artemis,
... there is the Dixie Outstation,
... then the New Dixie,
... and turnoffs to Crosby Creek,
... and later, Kimba.
Open woodland ...
... and magnetic termite mounds,
... as the road continues south,
... past Oriners,
... a workers camp,
... more, larger termite mounds,
... and a turnoff to Sefton,
... to Koolatah,
... and the Drumduff - Highbury Road turnoff.
After Koolatah,
... it's Dunbar's land and ...
... after the gates ...
... you get to the most challenging part of this road ...
... - the Mitchell River crossing, which,
... could be at any height depending on the season and the recent rains.
The rubber mats are a little loose so take care.
After the river is another gate, and then you come to Dunbar.
Detailed information about this road is in the Destination Guide.
