    Leaving for Brisbane

    In about an hour I will be leaving to drive to Brisbane. I will probably go via the New England, and will probably stop overnight somewhere around Warwick or thereabouts. I am getting a bit old to do these long trips non-stop, and reports suggest that the roads are in poor condition in places (which is why I am not using the Newell).

    Leaving for Brisbane

    I travelled on the New England Highway early this month to Sydney from Brisbane and it is a disgrace, and very dangerous with pot holes. I travelled a lot of the Newell Highway this week returning, and while it has bad sections it is far better with less open potholes.
    Travel to the conditions and have a safe trip.

    I am attending a conference in Brisbane from Sunday to Wednesday, then visiting friends in Caboolture before returning and then to Yass for a little girl's birthday party on the 10/3.
