A fly over this morning showed the creek flowing into the last
lake only 2 - 3 km from the Track and it's hooting. You can still drive across at 1/2m but not reccomended after that, at it's current rate I'd be checking it's flow before I drove accross. It has come some 15km in a couple of days. Good news on the SA transport leaving a road work crew on the northern side. It has rained again and just 10 - 15ml has left some of the tracks not passable already. Going to be lovely with wildlflowers this season with rain predicited this Friday. I have always stuck to the track being lost end of May - early June. Don't ask me how but our supply truck is able to come from
Adelaide

Thanks Teraa
It appears it has picked up a bit of speed, local rain would contribute to that.
I leave N.Z. 31st May. Heading to
Wiluna.
It would be fantastic to be there on
the spot to see the start of water coming down, but how can you plan with floods, they do their own thing regardless of mere humans.
Please keep us informed
At this stage will head to
Birdsville anyway. I will
check there and might have to hook a right and go the Plenty.
I guess just take what nature gives us.
The cattle will be looking fat & sassy anyway.
Thanks
Russ
