Just couldnt resist. Done it both ways several times to visit the daughter in Cairns, flew with Jetstar only takes 3hrs. And a lot cheaper than driving. ;D

Any way that avoids the Hay plain. And never get there after dark because  you should always make Hay while the sun shines.  :cheers:

Hey there Eagle. It is going great. I wish the weather was a little better though so I could get it out and have a good look. Might go to Deep Creek in a few weeks.
