Idle Observations During a Trip to Brisbane
We had to do the round trip from Hervey Bay to Brisbane and back again yesterday, here are some things we noticed.
After the recent rain here in Hervey Bay it might be hard to think that we’re in the middle of drought until you pass the lagoon at Dundathu and see that it’s totally dry.
South of Tiaro there’s not much grass in the paddocks. Some hillsides are so short of grass there’ll be some erosion when it finally rains.
Unfortunately there are still a lot of drivers out there who can’t find their accelerator till they reach a passing lane and they lose it again as soon as the passing lane has ended
Petrol was cheaper in Hervey Bay than in Brisbane but petrol at the small stations between Maryborough and Gympie was much cheaper than either Hervey Bay or Brisbane
There were some slight delays due to roadworks in Gympie but there were longer delays due to roadwork at the start of the M1 and on the way back to Hervey Bay the southbound lane was banked up in one spot for about 4kms
After only three hours in Brisbane we couldn’t wait to get back to Hervey Bay.
