On The Road

All great roads lead to Winton! We’re fully accessible via bitumen, or you can come via some great dirt roads for the off-roaders.

Things to know:

  • There are a few spots along the way without mobile reception. Keep in touch with people so they know when you’ve left and when you expect to arrive.
  • Always keep water in your car for you and your vehicle.
  • Outback Queensland roads are filled road trains transporting stuff. Road trains are two and three trailers in our part of the country. Be mindful as their sight and manoeuvrability is not the same as a Honda Jazz. Up to 50m in length pulling up to 150tonne. When driving on single lane roads always pull off to the side and allowing trucks to have the whole road.
  • UHF channel is 40 for communications amongst transport. Please be mindful no one wants to hear ‘bout your next dunny stop.
