Kimba Gamboola Road
Kimba
Gamboola Road
is in southern central Cape York.
It's a shortcut between the PDR and BDR,
... with the northern end near Kimba,
... and southern in Gamboola.
After leaving Fairview on the PDR,
... you first come past the Palmerville turnoff.
You then cross St George River,
... on a causeway bridge.
... that could be under the water early in the dry season, or after heavy rains.
The next one is Kennedy River,
... and again there is a causeway bridge.
You then pass the turnoff to Kingvale Station,
... and then there is the Kimba turnoff (you turn south to Pinnacle and the rest).
Kimba
Gamboola Road to King Junction
The red soil turns white, 
... the road is good,
... the soil gradually goes redder,
... and there are a few gates,
... as you first drive through the Pinnacle Station.
Outback signs,
... more gates,
... and you are on the land of King Junction Station.
Good road through,
... Palmer River crossing,
... and gate,
... a working cattle station.
King
Junction to Gamboola
South of King Junction is the
turnoff to Strathleven, 
... and the road countinues south,
... more gates,
... through the station.
You come to Mareeba Shire,
... and further down the road,
... to Wrotham Station.
More road,
... more gates,
... grids,
... creek crossings ...
... with causeway bridges.
You finally come to the mighty Mitchell,
... that can be well up after the wet season.
Late in the dry it is easy to cross,
... but that river is also known to change with unseasonal rains.
After a bit of a canyon country with wet season washouts,
... you come to Gamboola and the BDR.
