In reply to dlanod.

dlanod, I’m thinking of standing for some sort of office just so I can be corrupt for a while and improve things for us at the taxpayers expense. I’m just waiting for the course on bribes & backhanders to become available – it’s booked solid for months -)

I’d believe the nepotism. We have a dirt road leading to our place in North Queensland. No real surprise there, not many people live down our way. However about half the distance to our place got surfaced with bitumen about 10 years ago – magically coinciding with a guy down the road getting elected to parliament, and the bitumen stopped about 100 metres past his place. There’s coincidences and then there’s coincidences.

In reply to Liz Wicksteed. Anything is possible cock-up/conspiracy/driver out for a jolly.... We've lived here for over a decade and this is the first time we've seen any part of the road cleared by the gritter wagon which is odd.

I see what you mean. But having worked in the civil service I find cock-up theories way more persuasive than conspiracy ones. My guess is some wally didn’t put enough grit in the truck.

Lovely photos by the way!
