Phillip - unfortunately those fish were caught last year. Now the river is filling up the fish dinner WIlll be at our place, hopefully.
Vince, stopped raining at 11:00 pm last night. Cloudy but sunny today - enough to dry out bits of everything.

Hopefully we will have plenty of yellowbelly again - Ian just came back and the river is up another foot from when I took those photos. Plenty of froth on top.

Dodger it appears the rain isa heading east . Bourke has has 26mm since 9am so we may get some next.
Cheers Pete

Hello TR - you've been quiet.

ALan, you know the EO motto - Never Give Up! Provided there is not anymore rain in that lot coming over from WA - few days sun and bit of wind makes all the world of difference to the drying out. You may not be able to come the way you hoped - that's why it's called 'adventures'. Mind you, Cordillo has had 3 inches as well. Keep positive, until the last minute.

Max, might be a bit wet at Camerons seeing as Tibboburra had 26 mm but you never know.Marree to Mungerannie is Open to 4WD but Mung. to Bdv is still closed - the heaviest rain was at Clifton Hills, half way along (and the turn off to Walkers Crossing.
A lot depends on how much falls in the next predicted rain on Thursday - I think the cloud will slip south of us. LIke I said to the others - keep positive and make other plans, in case!

Cheers Ruth - Agreed, have the weather radar just playing out on the laptop this arvo, hopefully the next front fizzles out up this way. Plans B, C and D being formed!

Richard, that cloud bank was taken by Blue the Plumber who lives across the road - it was in December 07 and the dumped 52 mm, no rain until this week.
See you in a while.

We remember that night because it was such fun - that was the night the yabbies had been marinated in heaps of garlic and olive oil and chucked on the barbie and you encouraged Jen to lose her inhibitions (so it would work to your advantage later) - but the best laid plans of mice and men - not too romantic with her head in a bucket all night, eh Andrew? And you had such plans!
Hopefully, the yabbies will be back quick time soon.

Oh didn't realise about that until the News last night. I think it will slip south of us - lately it seems as though the fronts have to be up as far as Broome to come past here. Bit foggy here this a.m. and going to put another photo up it a minute.
See you and R. soon.

Thanks Bucky.

Brian, go back into the Gallery and check out the fog this a.m.
See you soon.

Same here Leigh , will be heading up for school holidays staying sat 28th , should things be open.
On our hay river trip , same time 2 years ago, the weather was seriously perfect.

Thanks for that Robin. I am chaffing at the bit to get out of here and hoping for a great 3 week trip. Three 4wd's and three seasoned bike riders. Cheers

Leigh and Robin - sorry couldn't get in yesterday to reply because EO kept coming up with Server Error.
Now, the Museum is still open and John Menzies is still the man to listen to.
Flowers should be starting to come out - the northern part of the SImpson hasn't received the rains (as far as we can tell) so the Hay should be right. The weather has been perfect - cold sunny mornings with clear blue days (warm) and should be like that again after this next fron due today/tomorrow - only difference will be it should be much colder. At least there have been no winds!
I think Walkers may still be out - but you never know. OF course I will post as soon as anything changes. You'll have a good trip either way.

Many thanks Ruth.
