Wills Developmental Road
The Wills Developmental Road is a road in north-west Queensland running between Julia Creek and Burketown.[1] As of 2016 it is sealed with a total length of 500 kilometres (310 mi). There are no major towns along the entire route, but fuel and supplies are available at the Burke and Wills Roadhouse and Gregory, Queensland. The Wills Developmental Road joins the Burke Developmental Road for approximately 1.2 kilometres to avoid a direct crossroads at their intersection. Two major rivers are crossed by the Wills Developmental Road en route, the Cloncurry and the Leichhardt.[2]
