road conditions from Croydon to normanton??

[spanner]

Howdy,

 I am curious as to the road surface conditions between Croydon and Normanton.

 Is the road surface sealed or is it a gravel road surface?

 Google maps does not have a street view this side of Croydon.

I have not looked at the whole length, but zooming in on Satellite View shows a dark road with a painted dotted line down the middle, which I assume to be a sealed road.  I'm sure someone who has ridden it will post some up to date info.

Or you could phone a servo at either end or the local council or RACQ.

The road from Croydon to Normanton is sealed, as is the road from Normanton to Cloncurry.

I traveled through in April 2014 on the Goldwing. Quite a bit of it is one lane. Smaller 4 wheeled vehicles respected my two wheels and let me share the one lane. I did not take any risks with large trucks and road trains and got right off the road and almost stopped. thankfully I didn't see too many of them.

I stayed overnight in Croydon at the caravan park. An interesting time. At opposite ends of the caravan park, there were two competing families with Boom Boxes. They had them cranked up ALL night. I only had intermittent sleep.

Just warning you!
