When travelling in Queensland’s outback make sure you have plenty of fuel, water and food. ALWAYS check road and weather conditions before leaving. Always observe local road condition signs. Watch out for livestock and wildlife on the roads, particularly around dawn and dusk. If a road is accessible only by 4WD – use only a 4WD. Don’t forget to bring a hat, sunscreen and insect repellent. Advise friends and family of your destination. Obtain good road maps and plan your route. Don’t forget to take regular breaks to prevent fatigue.
