Into the Land of Plenty

The Plenty Highway stretches east-west for 400 km between the Stuart Highway north of Alice Springs and the Northern Territory- Queensland Border at Tobermory. There it becomes the Donohue Highway, and continues a further 200 km to Boulia in western Queensland. It's a desolate stretch of road skirting the north of the Simpson desert as it follows an early stock route first established by Ridley Williams who overlanded the first mob of cattle from Queensland to Alice Springs in 1883. One of the watering points was the Plenty Well on the Plenty River which was discovered by Barclay in 1878. This is now the cattle station of Jervois and where we stayed on our second night. In drought periods lack of water made it a risky route for droving.
