Mackay to Cairns
Posted: Thu Apr 30, 2009 11:52 pm
Hi,
I am looking to tour from Mackay to Cairns in July or August (for about 2 weeks) with a slick tyre tourer. I would travel along Bruce Hwy with side trips along the way. I would appreciate comments on the route and if there are any good places to check out, avoid and stay at along the way (I'm not taking a tent). Are SE winds predominating along the coast at this time of the year?
Also, if there are better touring routes in Queensland which can be done in <2 weeks, I'd like to hear about them as well.
Looking forward to you responses.
