Gday all, I'm not sure if this has been posted before, however I think it's worth a repeat. I have just been informed that Western Australian chemists will not fill interstate prescriptions. Please let me know if this is true or a furfey? Thanks in advance. Cheers

Hi all, we are heading north and would like to know if any one has actually travelled from Townsville to Cooktown, in a Big Rig NOT 4WD so far this season. What road did you travel. We would like to go via Tablelands. Also any free/budget camps you may have stayed at. TIA
