When I came down less than 2 weeks ago they were still controlling 2 sections which meant 1 way traffic and most of the hill was still 40 to 60 k limited.Quote:

I went up last week Perry and returned a couple of days later, albeit not during roadworking hours, so I can't comment on the temporary traffic control.
I came to Brisbane via Cunningham's gap, and all lanes appear to be open normally, although the uphill left lane was closed just below the containers because a B-double had lost his second trailer.
However, today I headed south from Caboolture, and travelled via Heifer Creek - and it it does have a short section down to one lane controlled by lights due to a landslide on the downhill side.
I made it to Narrabri today, will get home tomorrow, all going well.
(Rain to the top of the range, only a few drops anywhere past that, although a lot of cloud. Some quite heavy showers near Moree, but didn't actually drive through any.)

Good luck, and safe passage, Bob
John, did you catch up with Dan? He's well worth catching up with. :)
No, unfortunately the only AULRO person I managed to catch up with was Incisor. I was tied up while in Brisbane with a man I worked with in the Simpson nearly fifty years ago, then the conference, then with an old friend I have known from fifty years ago (and her family on Saturday), then on Sunday travelled to near Gatton to visit a man who was running the bulldozers (and an aeroplane) in the Simpson nearly fifty years ago. He has a private airstrip, and owns two aeroplanes, and has lost his pilot's licence at eighty-six.Quote:

Only problem for the trip was the alternator coming loose. Not too bad for a vehicle approaching 600,000km and 26 years old!
John. Was that you I waved at on Sunday arvo?
I was returning to Kilkivan from Ipswich on the Esk road.
