Secluded Vacation

While visiting Queensland, it is important that you are aware of the rules, when you are traveling through the outback. Before you enter the road, you are required to contact the police and let them know where you are heading. Once you reach your destination, you are then required to make another phone call to the police and inform them of your arrival. This is an important procedure, so that if you are not at your destination and the approximate time of your arrival, they police will be able to easily find you. It is also important to know that although you can travel these roads with a car, the best choice of vehicle is a 4 WD.

It is also important, that while you are traveling, you are prepared, should anything go wrong with your transportation. Any spare parts that you may need, such as tires, should be in tow, since the roads are extremely remote, and it can take hours for a tow truck just to reach you. A mobile phone, is not the most reliable communication device, in the outback, so another great item that you should travel with is a high frequency out post radio transmitter, equipped to pick up the Royal Flying Doctor Service bases.  Read more...
