The link between Central Australia and
Outback Queensland is provided by the Plenty
and Donohue Highways. This stretch of road
was first built to allow cattle stations a
means of transporting beef through road
train access. Today, it is also a
?short-cut? for travellers from Boulia,
Mt.Isa and other outback Queensland towns to
get to Alice Springs and the?Red Centre? in
a more direct way. The Plenty/Donohue
highways are a long pathway through open
plains, cattle stations and aboriginal
communities. Several rivers and creeks which
form the channel country need to be crossed
through this diversity of country from red
sand and clay to bulldust and gravel.
