Coming into Charters Towers today about 10km out.. 110kmph down to 80kmph then 60kmph.. suddenly coppers everywhere on both sides of the road... sent them a friendly wave, past them and speed limit back to 110kmph... first time I've seen road signs forcing you to slow down so they can get you for speed...

Now I know to position the ties so as not to repeat that du...

I have only been doing this for a short time, but the number of times I have seen people (mostly women), standing between the van and the tug while they direct the driver back to hook up the van, which I think is silly.

I had the pleasure of meeting "Travelbug", Pam, today. We had a lovely lunch and a chat while driving around Townsville. A lovely lady if you get the chance to meet her. Thanks for the company Pam. Travel safe on your journey and keep safe.

I'm at Fletcher Creek at the moment, it is as dry as the pub with no beer. The nomad next to me says it has been like this for two years.
