As per above, Lawn Hill is a good place to visit. The pub in Burketown is a bit of a site to see in its own right and the publican will point you at all the right areas to go and look at. Otherwise, the drive around the gulf through Hell's Gate to Borooloola is also quite interesting. There used to be a van park, or a "resort" called Escott Lodge, on the Nicholson River, that opened up some excellent fishing opportunities, but may have closed, not sure. Leichhardt Falls is always worth a visit and some of those creek crossings between Normanton and Burketown are so full of Redclaw at certain times of year that it is simply amazing. They cover the causeways completely and can be scooped up in buckets or in the cast net!
