The Donohue Highway is mostly unpaved outback track that leads through the northern foothills of the Simpson Desert in Queensland to Tobermorey Homestead, Northern Territory near the NT/Qld border. The road branches off about 8 km north of Boulia on the Diamantina Developmental Road toward the west. The Georgina River is at about the 166 km mark and 83 km further is Tobermorey, a town with 20 inhabitants. From here the trail continues as the Plenty Highway towards Alice Springs. The route is mostly unpaved and marked by corrugations, deep potholes and bulldust (fine red desert dust). However, in 2009 further development in the form of river crossings were initially attached and further parts of the road are paved.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nationbuildingprogram.gov.au/publications/reports/pdf/Qld_BS_ProjectS_Mar09.pdf )〕 Despite the improvements to the track, it is often impassable after heavy rain.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.openroad.com.au/travel_4wd_plentyhighway.asp )〕 The Donohue Highway along its entire length forms part of the Outback Highway, which runs 2,800 km through central Australia. ==See also== * Highways in Australia 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Donohue Highway」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
