Hi all,
We are leaving for the Gulf in two weeks and the amount of water up there has us worried! It will be about three weeks from now until we reach
Borroloola. Does anyone out there have a crystal ball good enough to tell me if the roads will be open in 3 weeks, i.e. is it reasonable or now way in the world? Where is the best place to get info like this from ? I have checked the RACQ website (and a similar one for NT) which tells me in detail which roads are closed but I don't know who to contact to get any predictions for when the roads will be opened.
Also, I have a turbo diesel Prado and when planning the trip I had not intended to fit a
snorkel thinking there are no major creek crossings. With all the water around now I am not so sure - can anyone advise if there are any significant water crossings for which I will need a
snorkel? I have lived on the Cape so am no stranger to water crossings (in a different vehicle with
snorkel) but have no knowledge of the Gulf Track.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Ando
