Hi David,
I think we spotted that Maui van
The rental company would not have
been impressed.
There were also a few other moments where we would look on top of a steep hill
or across the valley and see vehicles where you would not expect roads to be
and we would say to each other, "I wonder how they got there?!"
Sorry to hear about getting picked up on the RADAR. If there had been a few
vehicles coming the other way, I noticed they liked to use the flashing headlight
telegraph system up there and you might have got the tip-off.
The delays with the roadworks on the Tablelands when going from Cairns to
Atherton certainly pushed out the travel times.
