Barry & Helen Enjoyed reading your blogs, you have got youselves a good vehicle for your trip. I drove Holdens for years in the outback (before 4WD's became the vehicle of choice) and only once had a breakdown and had to walk 64kms ( before mobile phones) They were the days! You will probably have to head inland and go through Chartres Towers to get to Townsville because of flooding in the Fitzroy river. It sounds pretty bad. It's two days since that terrible walloping dished out to our poor cricketers by your mob and the pain has eased a bit. Another couple of days and all will be forgiven I think. After all of this you are still very welcome. Wishing you safe travelling and great adventures ahead, regards Helen and Barry PS Can't get the smile off Helen's face.
