Oh hell yeah, they hate it more then us, for that exact reason, they have no buffer and have to deal with everyone now not just Mexicans, QLDers and caravans

well, thats that for another year. rather uneventful on the return journey which is a good thing i suppose. considering its easter w/end, there was surprisingly little traffic.

very little wildlife too. left WW and headed for hay at around 3:30am and thought for sure i'd see a few roo's through that stretch but no. i guess all the water (still plenty off the sides on the hay plain) keeps them away a bit more. plenty of bugs though. front of my white car and wing mirrors is almost black.

maybe next time i'll cross paths with some fellow members.
