Anne from Drysdale River Station
Hi All,
Just a line to say the North
Kimberley is drying out faster than may have been expected.
This is NOT an official word but I hear that the plan is to open the GR road by about end of this week or weekend of 5th / 6th. The Durack River being the deepest is about 800 and falling.
The
Kalumburu Road looks set to be open not far behind with a day in next week possibly even early next week 7 th to 9 th May.
The
Mitchell Plateau track may also be open by about the same time, some inspections & some repairs have been done and a ute has now crossed the
King Edward River ok.
cheers, Anne
PS If I don't reply to any follow ups it's because I will have no net access once again.
Will be back to normal next month.

Just a quick note of caution for GRRoaders travelling around the 1st of June give or take a day or so (from memory here), as there is a pushbike relay from west to east around that time that may be a bit of an inconvenience to some, a bit of an amusment to some (in the air con sipping a coldie!), a bit of fun for some participating, and a bit of a safety issue if travellers are in a bit of a jurry.
Cheers Andrew

I'll be on the bike competing in the bike race.
It's all in the aid of charity we'll be raising money for Princess Margaret Hospital (
Perth Childrens Hospital).
If your passing by a wave a toot a cold can or a small donation wouldn't go astray.
Regards
