We have been to Cloncurry several times while travelling in outback Queensland. The Visitor Information Centre is on the eastern side of town and located near the Mary Kathleen Memorial. We found plenty of space to park with the Caravan and enjoyed lunch in the shade. There are some lovely old buildings in town, wide streets and plenty of parking (even with the van in tow).
The road between Julia Creek and Cloncurry is undulating with quite a few 80 kilometre speed signs for rough road (mainly severe dips). During our last trip we had to stop several times for road works along this part of the Flinders Highway - maybe they are fixing up some of the dips!! I advise you to travel slowly while towing so you don't get 'seasick'.
There a several caravan parks in town - we stayed at the Discovery Holiday Park which has large grassy sites with lots of shade. There are only a small number of sites at this park as most of space is taken up with accommodation for the mines. While staying here you can join in the smorgasbord dinner for a fee - saves cooking dinner.
