Arrived in Normanton 8th August 2007
We started our journey along the Savanna highway, west. We did a bit more driving than planned, as we wanted to get to Mount Isa Rodeo. We stopped in a few places for petrol and to stretch our legs. We had been told the roads were good along this stretch, but watch out for "Road Trains". They are big lorry's, but also have 3 more trailers on them. This means they are about 100meters long, hard to stop and they don't like to slow down. The rules are they have priority and you must get off the road for them to pass you. We have seen lots of these, but the road's we were on sometimes become single track tarmac, so we were getting off the road loads. We arrived at Normanton at 5pm and planned our next day.

Hello Neil and Hannah,

PS Sorry about resd. It should say read!
Hi you two,
I have spent the last hour bringing my map up to date. We are ahead of your blog by text and phonecalls so it is all a bit confusing!
Looking good though.
Dad has heard about these road trains.
Congatulations to Tom and Cheryl.
love ma and pa
