Hi all,
Anyone of you travel Melb to Adl recently or live somewhere in between? How are the road conditions, especially after the recent flooding? (is the flooding still ongoing?) Is the road littered with roadworks, potholes, etc. Cheers |

Drove from Adelaide to Melb early this morning & apart from running over numerous mice &
bugs/grasshoppers, the road was great. Although you do notice the difference in road condition (not as smooth) when you cross back into Vic. |

How bad are the mice/grasshoppers? Do we really need to cover up the front of the car to protect the radiator/intercooler?

Just be careful with the cover. If it goes over the number plate the SA cops can book you for obstructing your numberplate.

Do locust come out during the day or night, or they don't care?
