We left Charters Towers and travelled down the Gregory Developmental Road towards Clermont, stopping for a fuel stop at Belyando, where the 9 metre wide load that we had previously been caught behind also pulled in for a break and fuel stop. We had intended having a longer break but thought we would get back on the road before they took off again, we didn't want to get caught following at a snails pace until they can pull over to let the vehicles through.
This is the fourth time we have camped at Theresa Creek Dam, it is always a very popular spot for a low cost stay. We counted between 60-70 campers each night with still plenty of room for more, we ended up there for 4 nights enjoying the peace and tranquillity with only the occasional generator humming in the background.
