Hi Everyone
Just a thumbs up for those wanting to travel outback roads in South Australia...it is time to put your
plan B into action.
The one that will cause some stress for many is the closure of the
Birdsville Track...just like last year in time for the Big Red Bash.
Let's hope it dries out quick and reopens soon.
Cheers
Stephen

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

Hi Phil
Is that normal for Queensland, as I thought that it should be perfect up your way for this time of the year.
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
