Your question may have been more to do with 'when will the floodwaters receed' but then you DIDN'T actually say that. I don't think that even National Parks would be brave enought to try and answer that one. Who knows, with ex TC Paul still resulting in extreme rainfall in FNQ, even more water could find it's way down the rivers into the channel country. You might even need to go beyond Plan B into C, D, E or even F. Good luck.
