Had another three inches of rain last night and was talking to a tour operator today and he thinks it might be another month before the GRR opens.
Bit of a late wet happening,dosnt take much rain to flood things,ground very wet.I guess this may play havoc with some of your travel plans.Good luck all.

Hi Nick, we are departing
Melbourne on May 13 working our way up the old Ghan track to Alice doing
the rock etc. then across the Tanami and hope to arrive in
Kununurra early June so I hope your right about the
Gibb river road or it may be very hard to find a
camp site in or around
Kununurra.
Maybe I should get
plan B ready, go to
Broome then up the
Gibb river road if all this rainfall continues for much longer, is there any news on the river crossings.
Regards David

Carnt say much more on the rivers(I dont know)along the
Gibb River,apparently out at ELQ they got 2 inches of rain but everything is so wet that the water runs straight off into the rivers,so you could expect the Penticost river up again.
Not that it will effect the GRR but last week the highway between here and
Katherine was cut at Victoria Crossing,the water flowing 7 metre's over the
bridge,this flood water was due to the cyclone dumping lots of rain across the top end.
