Mulligan Highway to the Goldfields

It is a very spectacular road,

... despite it being dry country,

The road crosses a hilly country,

Also during the dry season they are back-burning so there could be grass fires.

Around the Goldfields

The Whites Creek Road comes to Maytown - the former capital of Palmer River Goldfields.

After that, the road continues to Palmerville, under a different name - Palmerville Road.
