It's like that on the Tablelands too. People don't panic. Possibly so many transients in Cairns I guess that wipe everything out. I'm one of them at the moment, I had enough stashed at Chillagoe to last me weeks, now I simply do not have space, although I have enough.



Ha ha, and years ago, maybe WZ days, you all laughed at my cute green 40mm guage on a skinny stick. Never had to empty it til it was time. I did eventually upgrade to a $10 stick in the ground Bunnings item, and the most in that was 85 or 90mm. I do have the records somewhere in storage.

The Range roads concern me. We'll be lucky if we see the current two landslips fixed within the next 2 years, and maybe even luckier if we don't lose the whole road somewhere.

It's not just us though, the shortcut from Gatton to Warwick runs along a creek and there's roadworks repairing landslips into the creek, with only half the road left. The road from Dorrigo down to Coffs Harbour has similar problems. Stop/go's and traffic lights. No money being spent on keeping roads usable. Did I mention the Leichhart Highway? It's a complete mess, a mass of patched potholes small and large, literally. The Camry kept bottoming out and you couldn't do more that 85/90kph. There were very few sections of more than a couple kms that were actually intact. Too many heavy vehicles the road was never engineered and built for. Enough said, I guess...
