Rain, Rain, does it again.

Also entire Strzelecki Tk this morning, inc Cameron Cnr access.
Very likely NSW and QLD roads will also be affected.

Gday fellas, are you safely home, or stuck in the Birdsville pub??

Hey Stephen, not much fun up the east coast either mate.

We are considering hiring out as rainmakers. Followed us all the way from sunshine coast a couple of weeks ago right up to Cairns, so we headed up into the Atherton plateau through the aptly named Misty Mountains and won't let up. ... Queensland - the sunshine state Not!

NT and Kimberly are looking a far better bet right now.

Cheers Phil

Birdsville track is open to 4x4's

Would you believe this is the DRY SEASON Stephen?

But I am reminded this is rainforest country.

We are not far from Babinda which views with Tully as the wettest place in OZ.

Cheers

Plan B? A very big detour?

How about going via Alice Springs and Madigans Line?

In the last 14 days I travelled from Alice to Birdsville and back along Madigans Line. The weather was excellent most of the time and perfect in Birdsville on 22/06/17- 26 degrees, no wind, no flies.

The Western end of Madigans received 2mm in the last 2 days. Driving back to Alice today the weather was fine- 14 degrees, sunny, strong southerly wind.

Cheers,

John

And the good old Bulloo Shire has closed nearly all the dirt roads in the shire after 6 mls of rain on Wednesday. Unfu**enreal! 6 mls - the shire is drought declared so imagine that 6 ml is like pouring 2 drops onto a sponge. Fair dinkum and they bleat about attracting tourists to the area. We too have had the princely sum of 6 mls and all it has done on our station roads is settle the dust - there isn't a puddle to be seen! Toni

Hi Stephen, no more rain and they have opened our road now. It still stops our visitors from coming to see us. And the annoyingest thing is they are booked in but don't even bother to give us a ring and tell us they not coming. Hope your friend has a good trip. Cheers Toni
