By that time I was carting general freight Sydney - Townsville/Cairns.
Quite a lot of the road was single lane inc parts of the Newell between Moree and Goondiwindi, most of it from Moonie to Mount Morgan and then again north of Rocky.
If scalies were operating in Rocky we'd shoot up through Kokotungo to Dingo and then up the Development Road to Mackay.
Some time after I got out of trucks I lived at Emerald for a while so got to know the road from Rocky quite well.
Buy me a beer and I'll tell you stories that will make your hair stand on end, lol.
