One driver said his family had been stuck at the Port Wakefield intersection for more than an hour. "We thought we might beat the traffic but obviously not," he said. It seems there are a lot more people coming back than there was last year. Service stations along the main stretch were filled, as were road houses and convenience stores as drivers stretched theirs legs, lined their stomachs and refuelled for the final leg of their Easter trip.
