Im sure some of the people making these decisions dont realize the appeal of these remote places is that it is remote and not 10000 people battling for 2ft of sand on the beach.... Anyway theres a dude on youtube who drove his Kombi through it.. few issues coming back  ;D ;D but cant be that hard.

There was no beer in any of those containers. I have already checked. I’m only about 8km from it as the crow flies.

A major south Brisbane road is expected to be closed for hours, with a truck stuck under a rail bridge. \
Emergency services were called to the rail bridge over Oxley Road at Corinda just before 9AM.

"There's a lot of other rest area sites which are provided by the state and private sector ... we would still be encouraging motorists to stop at these [other] locations." 

So pull into a Service Centre & get something from Wild Bean or Macca's ???

Our resident Kookie Klan have been eating the toads for a few years, too. They seem to have worked out the safe way to do it, as we have had the same adults for several years now and each year the chicks have survived, to the stage where we now have a family of nine.
