You know what you can do with the Pacific, Ian. If I was coming, then SS, the M1 and the New England. I HATE the Pacific.

How long is it since you used the Pacific Hwy I go to Sydney a lot and these days it is better than the New England many of the towns are bypassed and the bad rangers too have gone I find it 2 hours faster than ten years back and I don't speed

11 Months, Cliff. Was on it once a week before that. I hate the new bits almost as much as I hated the old. Now it's just plain boring. The NE has things to see, and it doesn't bore me to sleep.

I understand what you say I drove trucks and buses for a long time after I got out of the army and these days I like to alternate between the Pacific and New England The last few time I went to Townsville I went the inland track just for a change of scenery

Wasn't much chance of falling asleep on the old Pacific, but it was still probably the most dangerous stretch of road in the country. Now it's speed camera central.

Not me. You'll have to get in your car and pick up Billy yourself.
