Hi All,

We are planning an outback trip for July this year and I am curious how you can get updated road conditions/reports when you are on the road?

After the recent rain here in SA I had a look at the following website and have noticed it has changed a couple of times in the space of a day and a half.

If we were caught on the Oodnadatta Track how do you know firstly that it has been closed and secondly when it is re-opened? It's a lot easier sitting at home with internet to get this info.

I believe HF radios are useful for this but we don't have one of these, we have a UHF and would also take a satellite phone but I'm not sure how either of these could help in getting this info.

Thanks in advance, Lloyd
