Tuesday and the river at Kempsey was wide, muddy, smelly and swirling with debris following lots of rain. Try getting along a back road where the pot holes expand into sheets of muddy water and worse. Don't ever drive in flood waters.
Pioneering work on expanding highway Number One was at a standstill.
Not a good day for a motorcyclist. 
Naturally the weather hardly compares to the Juno event.
