Hi Dormant, it's a bit iffy getting home here too, although it's only Eureka Creek at Dimbulah that will stop you. Pump Creek at Almaden goes up & down quickly.

I'm now driving an old Camry, also low slung & forget sometimes. Although highly conscious around crossings.

I find I'm usually at the Smithfield roundabout about 9.30am so miss the worst of it. I usually leave Cairns immediately after Rusty's on Friday morning, about 7.30-8am, via the Western Bypass. I look at the traffic coming in & hope I haven't forgotten anything important...
