Default Steve Irwin Way..road works

For the weekend cruisers out of Brissie, be VERY careful of the road work zone on Steve Irwin Way. From the Beerburrum intersection to almost in front of Mount Tibrogargan is now 60 km/hr ( was 100 km /hr ) Naturally, the signage is pitiful. Dare I say " fish in a barrel " ??

The good news is everyone who pays their speeding fine on time gets a free bindy doll.
