Yeah it is a nice road, wonder when they will make it split all the way?
About the rough roads in rocky, I find that anything but the highway or Yamba/Musgrave/Queen Elizabeth/Fitzroy street is just shat, bumpy, uneven, potholes, and just generally crap to drive on, guess it might be the stiff setup on the stag, but yeah I dont go the "back" way round town, even if it was shorter, it ends up being longer because I have to slow down ~40kph to feel safe.....
