Beaudesert police say despite the predictions of a massive influx of cars driving through the Scenic Rim border crossing at Palen Creek since it opened yesterday morning the road has been fairly quiet.
Police did have to turn back a number of vehicles and there were some problems with people trying to get in without the correct pass but traffic had flowed smoothly.
Having proof of vaccination and a negative COVID-19 test taken within the past 72 hours for those arriving from outside the border bubble is also a requirement.
The state borders reopened at one o’çlock yesterday morning and 12 hours later only 238 vehicles had come through the border checkpoint at Palen Creek.
However, Beaudesert police say some people are still trying to enter Queensland at the Lions Road border crossing but it’s inaccessible and closed to all traffic.
