Wind in NSW .
(Preview)
Just be very aware and careful of the wind gusts in NSW at present . I came through a cutting doing 80 kph and the side wind near tipped our 6 ton motorhome over . Lucky there was enough room in lane to correct enough ! The gust wasn't long enough but lighter motorhome or vans could be in trouble !!
