Used the ST to vist mum and sisters( and families) for Christmas in South East QLD.
Went the usual way I go Bucketts way , Thunderbolts way , New England hwy and then cut across to Gatton , then Laidley..
Way less traffic = e.g. = heard people were waiting up to 3 hours to cross into QLD on the coast roads.
Fools!! = I had to wait a whole 3 minutes.
Not to mention they're way more drivers roads.
It was an absolute hoot = especially in the windy stuff, it eggs you on = is that all you've got!!!!
On the way home got quite alot of rain ( dam heavy at times)so cruised( sort of= still not economy mode) all the way down the New England hwy = almost made it back on 1 tank and according to the trip computer numbers wise would have 810 klm( but I feel in reality would have just missed out ( and without spare fuel in the car was never going risk running out).
My sister wasn't totally impressed with the ride on country roads ( this is stock ) = she'd absolutely love it after traveling in the maloo!!!!
Pretty much the only photo of it I took while away and and this classic heritage QLD homestead we visited ( in the wivenhoe dam area, = coominya).
The homestead was literally had every piece numbered and then dismantled and reassembled = moved to it's current location = otherwise it'd be at the bottom of the dam.
