Hey guys
I will be taking a 'short' road trip from Brisvegas to FNQld starting on this wed. Basically my sister and myself are ferrying her new car (A nice LR Focus zetec) to the cairns area where she is working/training in the next 6 months or so. I've driven the cairns-bris route a few times so know my way around generally. But i've only ever been going south (never as a driver going north). Also always in falcon's LOL....first time in a smaller car... Am looking for any advice from guys that have done the route recently to help me out. Any areas the boys in blue are being particularly active (not likely to be doing much speeding in the littler Ford though...), roadworks/delays etc. Also anyone that has done the route in a focus or similar smaller car any tips would be great (i've already worked out pushing it along at higher speeds with a load on will cost fuel....) Am looking to make it to Mackay on the first day (no need doing it in one stint) so am wondering if anyone has any suggestions on best places to grab lunch in Rockhampton (mmm, steak....home of beef so they say). I haven't been to the place in years.... thanks in advance guys swordsman
