Yep, this is why I am staying in Edmonton and not attempting to get out on the roads on the morning of the eclipse !
If the need to move to an inland location is apparent, it would have to be done the day before.

I spoke to some Malanda residents tonight, and they plan to drive at around 4am and travel north to Mt Carbine (14th Nov) !!

Its a shame they don't advise the times of closure. Its it the night before? 3am? It would make planning any driving you need to do easier if it involves any of these roads.
