Hello to all.
If anyone could direct me to the best website to
check on road closures that still exist in Qld, following Cyclone Debbie, that would be great.
We are doing a trip from southern NSW to
Cairns and just want to be forewarned on possible existing road closures if we can. We know that cyclone debbie did a great deal of damage and part of me says to see it and part says stay away.
Also someone suggested not to buy fuel in those flooded areas because of water contamination in the servo tanks.
Not sure which way to go at present. Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
Great site, many thanks for reading this post.
cheers,
Wayne (True Blue)

Hi Wayne
I also agree - I don't think any major roads or connection roads around where Cyclone Debbie struck would still be closed, possibly under some kind of repair but as someone has suggested the RACQ website is a good place to start.
I was part of the clean up & recovery effort at
Eungella National Park for a few weeks after cyclone Debbie and there's a good chance some of the roads here may still be closed - but they would only be service roads for rangers etc. The sheer amount of tree's across roads and
walking tracks in this area was phenomenal. It hardly got a mention through the news and reports but from my time down there & looking around it got his just as hard as
Airlie Beach & Proserpine.
