Looking forward to NR2018 attendees getting a taste of what NQ has to offer... If you're coming this far, take a few extra days to explore and enjoy the tropics. Cheers, John & Kate.
Who's the funny sparrow at the far end with the cricked neck? :grinStop picking on my secretary.
hey fellow OzSTOCers… at this early stage of organising areally Kung-Fugreat NR2018, we’re wondering if there would be anyone interested in going on a one-day reef fishing charter… going out possibly the Thursday before, or the Monday following, the NR2018… would need a minimum of four… ballpark guess: $250 - $400 per person for the day… if there’s enough interest we’ll start another thread.. if not, we’ll drop it… copy this and add your name… Cheers, John & Kate.

2400 km from home so maybe 3 or 4 nights on the road.
Hopefully I get more work at Viterra (medical in 2 weeks time) and I can get some cash put away for the trip

Alan, you might check whether the Dawson Development Rd from Tambo to Clermont is sealed.Thanks.
Do we have a van park or the actual address of where it will be held as yet?
Found these maps showing QLD roads - moved them over to my Google Drive. Got fed up with my sat nav directing me down roads that were only partially sealed when I checked them later on Google Earth.

Hey STroppy and STimpy (... and everyone), In a word - Yes, we have made some arrangements, but there are still too many other things to be sorted as well for it to annouced just yet. Suffice to say it will not be an expensive cab fare from the park out to the Mackay Marina, to join the fishing charter. Cheers, see you at Wooli. John & Kate.

Hey Alan and other fellow OzSTOC route planners,
In planning your route to NR2018 Mackay, be aware that tropical cyclone Debbie all but destroyed the Sarina Range, and will be unlikely to be usable any day soon, if ever...
...so, if travelling north up the Bruce Hwy (or sometimes referred to as the A1), do not use the old Bruce Hwy which goes inland from Marlborough...
...or if coming in from the west along the Peak Downs Hwy (Hwy 70), do not bypass Nebo and all will be good - no dirt...
... please post any queries about this end of the route and we will do our best to help you out...
... we also have plenty of info on other great things to see, do and ride, while you're up in our patch... so if you can, add a few extra days to your plans. Cheers, John & Kate

So is this the section of road that should not be used:-

I chose this route to Mackay using the QLD maps I found. https://goo.gl/maps/EHyZEPj4HNL2
Haven't looked at return trip yet but down the coast to Brisbane/Gold Coast area was one idea.
Hey Alan... checked out your route and would suggest you consider a left turn at Rolleston and come up through Emerald, Capella and Middlemount... I don't think you can get through from Blackwater, up the Bedford Weir Rd... Cheers, John & Kate.
