Another big day today as we head for Proa Station.
Depending on the route we take Proa Station is towards Julia Creek via Kynuna Road or towards Richmond and the along the Flinders Highway. As the crow flies the homestead is only 15 km south of the Flinders Highway and only around a 70 km ride to Julia Creek.

| Which way today??? |
Whichever way, we'll be following the Diamantina River (Lake Eyre Basin) for part of the way before crossing into the Cloncurry River Catchment (that flows into the Gulf of Carpentaria near Karumba).

Proa Station is a sheep and cattle property and redclaw crayfish farm. Mount Isa's newspaper The North West Star reported last year that "
The Red Claw (from Proa Station) is the best in the world and is much more flavoursome because it’s actually farmed in bore water".
