Just a quick mention for the information of any G/N's using the pacific Hwy to go North over Easter.Be aware that roadworks and RTA signage will cause lenghty delays.Southbound will also be slow until the turn off to Tea Gardens.Hope this is useful.Cheers.Ibbo.

Well, we are almost ready - our first really big trip. Want to go to Darwin via Woomera and up through the centre. Any advice would be welcome. Planning to leave mid to late May.
