I am currently in Penrith NSW and at this stage will be leaving tomorrow, Sunday. I am heading up the Pacific and Bruce highways, arriving in Townsville possibly Wednesday or Thursday.
With all the rain in the East I would realy appreciate any information on closed/flooded roads or the possibility of that during my travel time. I have checked the weather forecast and a couple of web sites and don't see any major drama at this stage but information from the locals and GN's is as always, invaluable and much appreciated.
I havn't got my passport with me so don't really want to end up over the ditch, although I could always call in for the famous scones and pav I haven't got my floaties either.

I'm at Maroochydore Doug, heading for Brisbane today. Still a little overcast, sun trying to shine thru, and looks like most of the rain has gone. Have no info on flooding in my immediate area.

You can send a bit of that rain over here Doug. Maybe if you did do a bit of a detour over here the said RAIN might just follow you.
The autumn rains are a far away as ever.
Pray your trip up to Townsville will be smooth and also hassle free once you get there. Brandt.
PS I start physio on my leg on Monday.

Thanks everyone. I am packed and hooked up ready to hit the road early in the morning to escape a bit of traffic till I am on the Pacific Hwy/Motorway. Aiming for one of my favourite places, Byron Bay, Sunday night. Maybe just 1 night but maybe 2, who knows, I don't.

Yes Joe.
I had to leave them at a motel while staying at Mongrels for the week cos I didn't want him having a heart attack from seeing such beauty
I left this morning and picked the Nulla twins up on way through. We have made it to Byron Bay and they love the place, so much so we are staying a couple of days
