I have just read on the Birding Aus website a message from Don and Liane
Haddon that the
Gibb River Road has been closed due to unseasonal and steady rain. A commercial tour vehicle is hopelessly bogged on the track to
Manning Gorge and the tracks to
Bell Gorge and
Windjana Gorge are also closed.
Drysdale Station on the
Kalumburu road is out of fuel and heavy road trains will not be allowed up these roads even after they are opened to light vehicles.
Road info is supplied on the mains roads website.
This info can be read under the heading of To Black Grasswren seekers.
Hope this info is helpfull.
Kind regards from Col.

The best way to read the original message is to search, birding aus archives and then click on the top date and you can then see Don's message.
Regards Col.
