Hi I've just come back from there and the road is closed as is Takarakka and the National park rd before the Balloon
Cave.
It has been pouring up there since midday and the creek is on the way up.
I would say sometime in the next month if it stops raining (which it won't do this week).
Regards
Dave

Kev,
We can't do anything up there untill it has had time to dry out which would be about 2 weeks after it stops raining.
I nearly got swept off the causeway on the sealed section yesterday as it flows too quick.
The Council will focus on the major highways (with main rds permission) and major arterials first. People could have got out of
Carnarvon yesterday morning but with the storm I saw up there yesterday I'd say from about 1pm yesterday the creeks would be back over 1m on the causeways and flowing at about 30-40kph.
