The meeting point of four major routes in northern Queensland, The Lynd Junction, might seem to be miles from anywhere but it has all the necessities of civilisation – even Telstra network mobile phone coverage! In fact, it’s one of those gems that seems to have it all, right down to licensed premises incorporating Australia’s smallest bar.
The Oasis Roadhouse offers fuel, rooms from basic to en-suited, powered caravan sites and camping sites, wifi and a café that serves truckstop meals.
The Lynd is about 130km from the Undara Lava Tubes and just 80km from the Einasleigh Hotel andCopperfield Gorge. Only 30km from the roadhouse is a great fishing and camping spot on the Einasleigh River. With ghost gums and a huge waterhole, it’s a very picturesque spot. It’s only a half-hour drive from the roadhouse, so even if you’re camping there you can pop over for dinner at the Oasis.
