G'day .
Has anyone got any updates on how the roads are in the
St George area after the floods earlier in the year?
I realize of course that all roads are open but as we will be towing a caravan
( NOT an off road type) its more a question of how many potholes and tyre destroying sharp shoilders are there now.
Also are there any problems getting into bush campsites?

Garry,
Depending on which roads you intend to drive all main roads are in reasonable condition
This was the road report from the 21 Apr 2010 for this section
The Castlereagh Highway between
Dirranbandi-
Bollon Rd and Booligar has been severely damaged by flooding. The road is open but motorists are advised to take extreme caution as much of the surface has broken up.
From what I have been told all other sections that were damaged by flooding have been repaired but most have not been sealed, most areas that were damaged are signposted. There are a heap of on road van travelling the area now with no issues.
Just drive to the conditions and all should go
well.
Most
bush camping spots are open as
well.
Cheers Kev
