We will be travelling through Queensland on our way to the national rally at Rockhampton in 2013 and are wondering what the roads to Lawn Hill are like. We have a semi offroad Jayco and would be going that way in early August next year. Woodpecker

We arrived back in Mareeba this arvo to be greeted by about eight other GM members here at the rodeo grounds. May have to call this an unofficial get together. If any others are around there will be a few of us here for a while. JC.
