Road to nowhere By Emily-Rose Toohey Condamine River Road has been closed to the public since November last year, which has impacted tourism and local businesses as a result. Property owner Paul Stumkat of Stumkat Studios Killarney lives on the road, and he said
the closure changed the way his business operated. “I have to pick people up to bring them to my studio and have had to cancel projects,” Paul said. “It’s an inconvenience and we’ve been waiting over six months - they have fixed up some
of the crossings. “I also haven’t been able to sell my cattle.” A Southern Downs Regional Council (SDRC) spokesperson said the road, which is located in the Cambanoora Gorge and traverses 14 river crossings, will reopen once emergent works have been completed and it is safe
to reopen to the public. “The public road sustained significant damage such as washouts of creek crossings due to consecutive rain events, including the most recent flood event that had a region-wide impact,” the spokesperson said. Full story on page 5
