This is the most DANGEROUS ROAD,for as long as last 50 years trucks ,cars have all gone over there,it will not be the last,the cost of all this carnage has probably cost hundres of millions of $$$$$,and there was talk of the ARMY 50yrs ago to put a road up and over the hill before the twisty bits,starts by the big gum trees and sraight over and comes out by caravan park,its still not done,(but they have got (HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS TO GIVE TO THOSE OTHER PEOPLE)that need their SQEACKY WHEELS GREASED,so it goes on,my thoughts only,that route is the main highway,and costs hundreds of thousands to have that closed throughout the yrs,in lost production.Sunlive is No1,Thankyou 10-4 out.
