Camooweal is a small town of less than 300 people about 20kms the Queensland side of the NT/QLD border. Mount Isa regards Camooweal as a suburb and claims the 188kms of Barkly Hwy between the two places is the longest main road in the world.
We had dinner at the Post Office Hotel and stayed at the hotel's caravan park. There was not much to see during the drive from Renner Springs and the only places to stop were roadhouses.
The Threeways Roadhouse is at the intersection of the north south Sturt Hwy and the western end of the Barkly Hwy. We turned east and the road signs reported the distance to QLD.
Before we could refuel at Threeways we had to hand over ID which was returned when we paid for our fuel. Apparently many vehicles have driven off without anyone paying for the fuel.
