If you don't have a transponder the camera will take a photo of your No Plate & they will send you an account with an administration fee.

I just received a message saying they are coming between 8.30 & 11.30 tomorrow morning.

Good luck with that then.[biggrin]



I think I saw the admin fee mentioned as a Video charge or something.

Perhaps because the tolls have been dropped, due to the floods?[biggrin]

Hope they show up for you.

From what I read the tolls have only been dropped on the tunnels , I believe the gateway & Logan Motorway are still active . With the Centenary Hwy now reopened he can come through the Airport & Legacy Tunnels onto Centenary Hwy, which would be quicker than Gateway ,Logan Motorway & Centenary Hwy.

bloody rain... my backyard in now a paddy field full of paspalum :p

pity my gum boots are up the block...

back to the butane stove.

after we lost power from the storm prior to the floods, I offered to cook breakfast for the SSWMBO and looked at me and said "yeah, what"

I went into the shed and bought out the stove and within about 15mins had hot coffee , fried eggs on hot buttered toast ready to go.

She looked at me and said "do you always do this when you go bush" I said "yeah sometimes I do it for 7 or 8 guys if theyre awake"

she ate up and said yum. big compliment from her to Den.

btw , I do run a b'fast service for the boys .....and have to change the butane cylinder several times.

I have a saucepan that fills my coffee plunger perfectly and some mornings that gets filled a lot of times.

Is it just me ……. you are in a flood with roads closed due to the water level. The tolls remain on the roads but are taken off the tunnels???

Breakfast Creek tunnel is closed thanks to eight metres of water over the roadway, too deep for all vehicles without particularly tall snorkles.
