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

We are going there in a few weeks. Having not been there before, we keep hearing stories that it is a major climb up the mountain. 1) Is this the case?2) which way did you go?Been told that if you want to avoid the climb, you need to come in from Goodiwindi. Too long a detour.Thanks, Larry
