Lunch stop outside the old Moreton Telegraph Station - a bit over 400 km up the Peninsula Development Road from Laura and almost 300 km north of Musgrave Roadhouse

The old Moreton Telegraph Station is now a tourist facility

The bush camp we had all to ourselves just up from Sailor Creek about 4 km down the Old Telegraph Track from where it meets the Southern Bypass Road that we travelled on. There was even an old shed as an en suite!
