Twice now, I've headed out west the Peak Downs Highway. Both times have been for work. The first time was all the way to Emerald to drop off a machine and pick up two more. That trip involved a overnight stay in Emerald itself. The last trip on 22 April, was to pick up a machine at one of the coal mines. That time I was able to go there and back in a single day. It was about 4 1/2 hour drive each way. It's very lovely scenery out there and it makes for a lovely drive. Driving a Volkswagen Transporter may not be the best vehicle to take, but it is okay.
On the last trip I caught the tail end of a cattle muster using at least 3 horses and a helicopter. Several times I had to pull over for wide loads. When I say wide loads I mean WWIIIDDDEEE loads. The truck take up both lanes and most of the shoulder. You have to pull right off the raod to let them by.

Looks like a nice place for a drive.
