THE Savannah Way has many different options and locations to explore as it runs along the Gulf Country. It’s mostly dirt from Normanton through to the Roper River. I could literally write a book about this place, as there are so many things to see and do. One of our favourite free camps was Leichardt Falls, at the top of …
