There have been a number of posts regarding road conditions in the far north west of NSW recently.

Listneing to the local ABC here in Broken Hill this morning the list of closures is taking about 3 min to read through, so I thought I would put this up to let you know what is going on. The road closures are extensive and the list is growing daily, I expect there to be road closures for at least the next couple of weeks because most are being caused by flooding of the Paroo and water in the Buloo Overflow. But different roads will open and close almost on a daily basis.

If you are planning a trip in the area north and west of Cobar or in the Ivanhoe Menindee area you need to get information from a reliable source immediately before you travel. Either the morning you set off or the night before.

The simplest way to access information would be to call the Broken Hill Visitor Infromation Centre on

1800 630 008.

The centre is open, I think, 9am to 5pm South Australian time.

They will also be able to give advice on things that you can get to and how to re-organise your trip to make the most of the area. Even with the road closures, there is still plenty to see.
