Capella to Charters Towers

 We stayed at Capella, not much about this place but it does a theatre that has a few shows a year. There was a country show on the weekend coming. 

Charters Towers was 418 kms away, our longest trek so far. We dont rush to pack up in the mornings, just get up, breakfast, showers and then start work, usually leaving about an hour after getting out of bed. I had made lubch and we had that at Belo something crossing. No town just a road house and fuel with a big parking area, many people were stopped and lunching. It was a "need a cache" day luckily there was one 400 metres from where we had our lunch. We had come past it four years ago but I was too buggared to walk up and get it. Good decision as it turned out. Warren drove up the alt route and it was just off the junction. The crossing is exactly 200kms from Charters Towers.

Driving along we realised that we were going to be there at 1.30pm so revised our plan/idea and filled with fuel made a booking in Townsville for that night and the next two nights. I took the wheel and off we drove to T'ville. We stayed at a cp that was in our top five from when we did the big lap.
