I was on my way from my home in Brisbane, to the Snowy's on my 2017 BMW R1200GS Rallye in October 2024. Cant see anything at all from the main security gate... understandably so. But its amazing how much money $$$ can be spent on infrastructure that is technically totally useless. But build another hospital wing??? Hell no!
