15: Cape York trip - June 2017: Heading home - Twin Hills - between Charters Towers and Clermont

Old Twin Hills Post Office (part of the house) - 12 km south west of Gregory Development Road about 250 km south east of Charters Towers and 125 km north west of Clermont.  The house and Post Office are now abandoned, a legacy of new communications technology introduced in the 1980s.
