All travellers to W.A. from the East, be aware that a heavy, consistent and relatively stationary rain band, has brought major flooding in Eastern W.A. through to the W.A. border.
There are many major road closures in the region - the
Leonora-
Laverton road is closed due to severe flooding, the Trans-Line has been cut by flooding and will be closed for days, and the Eyre Hwy between
Norseman and
Eucla is closed due to flooding.
Many of the remote Aboriginal Communities and many Outback tracks are flooded. Some areas have received over 200mm of rain over the last few days, and this comes on top of heavy rains in the area at the end of January 2024.
Please
check with local road authorities before moving through this region in the next week to perhaps 10 days.

I saw on the news where some clown in a 2WD vehicle rocked up at
Warakurna Roadhouse, expecting to be able to drive straight through to
Laverton on the GCR, without a problem!!
Long stretches of the GCR are still under water and the GCR is STILL CLOSED TO ALL TRAFFIC!
And it appears it will be many days before it is opened again.
Ensure you
check the links in my first post, for road conditions before you set out!
Cheers, Ron.
