Ingham

Map

Have I mentioned how I hate bastards who live in graticules that don't suck arse? Monday in Ingham the point is in a cane field, so could be accessed within at least about 50m (or closer, depending on if they've harvested, and how friendly the farmers are).

Ayr

Map

Ayr's point looks quite open and friendly, and possibly even quite simple to get to. It looks like you just go to Woodstock, follow Webb Rd, then along Dingo Park Rd until it turns to dirt, and then keep on driving. No worries.

Bizarrely, our point for Monday appears to be near an airstrip in the middle of nowhere. Alien landing site, maybe?

• I'm going to Charters Towers today! It's too good to turn up!

Out in the bush near Dotswood again. Google tells me it's a 95km/90 minute trip each way (from my place), not including the 500m bush walk from the road.

Ayr

Look at that, right on the road, and only about 100km away.

• If I hadn't burned all that fuel yesterday going to Charters Towers, I'd consider this one. But alas, purse strings and all. –Matty 23:29, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

Accessible from the highway, but 215km away. Apparently that intersection has a name: Campaspe.
