It's gonna be hard to do now as they have Dayboro Road completely closed at the bottom now not just Youngs Crossing and there were roads closed due to landlsides earlier cutting Dayboro off from the top. People could still get along Robinson Road if they could get to Kurwongbah. Some of the higher road may have opened now.

Let's hope they have, and let's hope more the current lull in rainfall lasts for a while :thumbup:
