Yes thanks to all. Great to see the connecting roads reinstated and the routing largely back in action. Still a lot of minor roads missing with weird nodes scattered around but no great problem cleaning up.
As more a bushwalker I mainly concentrate on tracks and geographical features but wonderful that the road infrastructure is nearly always there to connect into.
