Just looking at the images from the Mt Gambier weather radar and it seems that its raining on the Border Track - does that mean it might reopen soon?

I think we will need more rain the 25mm or so that we have had at Berri and the rain has been heading down Pinnaroo way from here. Nothing been happening here most of the day although more is expected.
We did the drive from Murtho to Pinnaroo last sunday and the section below Peebinga is nice little drive. Not over challenging but you need to keep your wits about you and ebough variation to make it interseting.

Should be a fair bit overnight Al. Cloud is thickening over SA and plently of moisture is feeding in from the NW. We have a great setup here for some good rain.

Lets keep our fingers crossed Ray,
It is starting to cloud over again and the radar image at Woomera looks promising.

We live 40 kms east of the border track and have had 38mm of rain from Wed till now (Sat morn) so I would guess the track should be open soon. I have just spoken with a parks ranger from Lameroo and he will assess how far down the moisture has penetrated on Tues and on Wed he will post his recomendation on the website........www.environment.sa.gov.au.
