hello
 

hi huppypuppy welcome to the club join in stir a bit post a pic i live out west (wa) perth am into bus old for the use of but this month i am on the bell line of road or as hilifta has said goat track i totally agree most unsuitable for heavy vehicles or any thing towing part of it was washed away 2 weeks ago still not fixed sound familiar? according to the notice the new length for nullabor crossing is now 36 meters allowing b triples across welcome again geof the darloboy

Geof,

I agree there - no heavy loads west of the Newell Highway from the Queensland border to Marsden (just south of Forbes) due to flooding. Even had a creek halfway between Dubbo and Narromine (which you may or may not have crossed on your way through) cover the road and the RTA closed it! There were many damaged roads around Dubbo - Bligh Street south of the Centro shopping centre to Macquarie Street and the Troy causeway on Yarrandale Road were two road areas to suffer major damage! :eek: :cool:

hi joe happy to be informed of nsw road use, out west by the ocean we have strange rules too with length limits on some roads as a bus steering wheel attendant p/t not having driven a largish truck for many years a fella gets out of touch not used to working at anything much either 'cept at my volunteer days at bus group where mostly" after all is said & done more is said than done" where the biggest thing is a0305 bendie regards geof

road closures
 

hi again joe we had aweek or so in dubbo 13 months ago when it was bone dry then we came thro' 18 days ago we (the navigator & me) have never seen such a change or so much flood damage we stopped at as many coffee outlets as we could spent a few bucks on refreshment had a chat (as u do) heart breaking for some folks even after a dry but most said they would get over it carry on again geof

Geof,

It was shocking - closed both the major shopping centres down for a week 3 weeks out from Christmas - it killed a lot of traders' incomes..... but what can ya do???
