So the wind blew the cover off a sign about Brisbane's Christmas present: a new road toll.
Here's a video:
It will cost $4.20 one way to pass through the Clem7 - passing under the city - instead of through the CBD.

We aren't really too happy about it: http://www.news.com.au/couriermail/story/0,23739,26128167-952,00.html
But Mayor Campbell Newman says it will solve our traffic problems and so we elected him on that promise.
Let's see. Wolfdene Dam, Rochedale dump, Mary River Dam (http://www.abc.net.au/rural/news/content/200911/s2740694.htm), Brisbane tunnel...But you will avoid up to 23 traffic lights and apparently save fuel on the new trip under the Brisbane River.
And we still have to look forward to the Go-Between Bridge: http://www.gobetweenbridge.com.au/
Roads. Tunnels. Bridges. "Connecting communities!" If you can afford to own a car in a few years time.
