Queensland Odyssey 2017

Our costs for 15 days away including accommodation and 3 group meals are $3575 for two people.

We have plotted a route that takes in many and varied attractions along the way and will be traversing some rain forest areas as well as the dinkum red earth outback, so there will be plenty for everyone.

It is not too late to put in an entry and join what is a very social and friendly group.

Contact G2 (Sharpie) if you want an entry form and/or further information about the Odyssey

Max Clarke has looked at rental cars and Avis are dearer than last Odyssey but they do a one way hire. Alfa , who are cheaper require the cars to be returned to the hire site.

For those who want to stay on and visit the Townsviller Supercar meeting. It is one of the best tracks in the series and is held on the 6^th,7^th,and 8^th of July.

Mission Beach is approximately 140km from Cairns and 245km from Townsville.
