Gday everyone, Hope you all had a good New Years Eve! To celebrate the new year I have the first Ozroads update of 2006 consisting of the following: Cahill...

Happy new year, everybody. Since a lot of the inner-city Pacific Mwy photos that I took last year ( ;) lol) didn't turn out too well, I went for another trip...

Some good photos there Trent, thanks for posting. Thanks for getting a photo of the gantry at Ipswich Mwy/Centenary Hwy interchange, but I wanted those dodgy...
You mean this roundabout? http://img301.imageshack.us/img301/3757/dsc025967nh.jpg It looks pretty dodgy to me. I must've missed it when I was uploading my...
