Hi guys,

We have a survey crew heading to Lake Frome in a month or so - can anyone point me in the right direction for a place to get updates on flood levels, predictions, etc?

Thanks!

Gday Tristan,
I'd guess you'd know about the road conditions website which is updated daily. The roads are open to 4wd from Yunta at present:
http://www.transport.sa.gov.au/quicklinks/northern_roads/area4.asp

As for Lake Frome itself, I don't know any websites etc which would give water levels. It mostly gets water from the north Flinders ranges but may get backflow from the Strezlecki Creek during an exceptional year (I'd guess we are having one of those!)
Arkaroola do regular flights over lake Frome, so I'd expect they'd have a good idea of whats going on, or maybe the nearby station Frome Downs.

I'd be contacting the ranger station at Balcanoona
