dumb question: do they have planes that go from from mt isa to dubbo?
else; you could always catch a coach or train(?) not entirely sure.. as I've only driven from bris to dubbo, but i did see a lot of coaches and trains (not sure how many stops a coach does) but its over 20 hrs cruising distance? Last edited by kyro_02; 30-06-2007 at 10:29 PM. |

Is 4Wd an option. There are some awsome places to visit on the "roads" between the Mount and Dub.

Air ~$750 a seat, Rail would be slooow and I guess a few hundred a seat, bus is even worse than train and probably dearer. If flights are too much atm, it's car, car, car. |

Fly?
Dubbo Sydney Sydney Brisbane Brisbane Mt Isa Macair Fly between Townsville, Mackay and Brisbane. http://www.macair.com.au/ A flight from Brisbane to Mt Isa on them will set you back around $350. It's a stop start flight, with 6 stops in between. Or you could get to Townsville on someone like Virgin or Jetstar. Expect to pay around $200 from Townsville to Mt Isa. They have all those prices on their website as well. Or you could jump on a Greyhound bus. They all head out there too. www.greyhound.com.au Dubbo-Toowoomba, then Toowoomba-Mt Isa Or Dubbo-Brisbane then Brisbane Mt Isa All over $300 as well. Rail Wise, the closest stop is Townsville as well. Passenger services run from Brisbane to Townsville all the time. From Dubbo to Mt Isa (Going the inland way through Bourke/Charleville) will be around 2000klm. Cheers Darran

Bus is always cheap, but then again long distance bus travel is no fun, believe me.
