No Mazda Tributes involved in this.......... A bizarre sequence of events has found Mrs Barnsey and I without any kids from 9.00am Sat to Monday arvo. So we're going to...........(you'll never guess) Einasliegh! Oh........and we're travelling in a turbo diesel GQ Patrol with the works. I don't think a SUV would handle the trip. :-) >No Mazda Tributes involved in this.......... > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] >Oh........and we're travelling in a turbo diesel GQ Patrol with the works.

They've had between 2" and 3" of rain out that way in the past couple of days. Probably already pretty well dried out by now though I guess -- but it has been pretty bloody wet out in that country this year since cyclones Larry and Monica: <http://www.bom.gov.au/cgi-bin/climate/rainmaps. cgi?page=map&variable=deciles&period=9month&area=qld> Or try: <http://tinyurl.com/ycn6ew> Cheers, Phred.

Yeah, I've looked at the BOM site........scattered showers and thunderstorms forecast for the next 2-3 days, and they've had quite a bit of rain in the last few days too. Rain forecast for all of NQ. Hmmm. Do we go or do we stick with our original plans of the cabin in Paluma (boring) >> In article < >> You might actually need something more than a Holden ute for the next [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > Hmmm.

Some of the best trips end up with mud all over car etc. Windy as hell here today so I think the rain has blown away. http://good-times.webshots.com/photo/2479093840063293615NgAHtC was a great trip and check out the mud on the Hilux and Camper! That was west of Chillagoe - into black soil country which you wont encounter on the Einsleigh :) kathy. > GO!

Well, we went to Einasliegh, but only stayed overnight From there we went back to the Lynnd Junction then north past Surveyor, to Mt Garnet, Ravenswood, the across to Innisfail to Cardwell. You're not wrong about the wind, Kathy. We stopped and had a look at the wind farm. It was too cold!! Yes, in December in Nth Qld, while Vic was having 42o C heat, we shivered in the rain! I had a look around Mt Garnett. Hmmmm. My 5 days there in Feb 07 will be ......dull, I think. What a hole! It's the first time I've been up to the Table lands and Innisfail since Cyclone Larry. Bloody hell! What a mess. 100-200 year old trees snapped in half. I'll upload some pics to my photo bucket account and post a few links soon. We stayed in a cabin in Cardwell last night..........1000 Ks round trip in 3 days. It was great. [snip] >I had a look around Mt Garnett. Hmmmm.
