Gday Nick
Looks like you are comeing up to one of our best wets for a while. Been mild weather and plenty of good rain for a few weeks now. Good luck with the rivers on the way up, (the vic has been over apparently, and
Katherine came close) This site I have found excellent for wet season driving in WA:
http://203.20.251.100/waterinformation/telem/table.htm
I haven't found the equivelant for the NT yet, but haven't really looked either. For anyone out there, the above site helps heaps (with the Dunham at least). Last week, I was at work & supposed to go
home in the afternoon. Looked up the site in the early morning & saw that the water level was at 13.95 metres, and the road starts flooding at 13.7. The site also gives the rate of rise, which was at 300mm per hour.
A quick bit of brown nosing to the boss, and I was off, as the crossing is about an hour away. Got there with several vehicles waiting at the crossing. I walked it, bout 700mm deep and not flowing too hard, so collected 4 'stranded' people & drove through.
Anyone know of similar sites we can all use.
Cheers Andrew
