Hi Jeff. Town name every mile to 2 miles..... ?? I suspect the "towns names" you may see are cattle stations? You could fire a canon down the Warrego Highway and be very unlucky to hit even a dead kangaroo!!! 27 kms (app 17 miles) east of Longreach on the Warrego Highway is the small town of Ilfracombe. It is the only town between Longreach and east to Barcaldine, a distance of 106 kms (app 65 miles). If you were to zoom in on Ilfracombe in Google Earth, on the north side of the Warrego Highway as it passes through the town you should see the long row of old farm machines, trucks and tractors, including perhaps the Fergy. I just looked up your Mapquest site. The "town" names of Camden Park, Kelso, Allandale etc are all cattle and sheep stations - they are not towns. The Ilracombe council web site is at:>Link I>Link can assure you that a cold ale on a hot day at the Wellshot Hotel in Ilfracombe is about as good as it gets!!! My work involved around 50,000 miles per year on remote Outback roads and tracks. It's is a unique and wonderful country but almost uninhabited. (Except for millions of kangaroos and emus!) Cattle stations are not measured in acres or hectares, but in hundreds and even thousands of square miles.
