Thanks for the info. Im keeping a very close eye on the weather and road conditions up there. Heading across the Simpson from Birdsville at the beginning of September.

Cheers

We are in the Alice at the moment. It has stopped raining for now but very cold. Haven't heard of any road closures yet, but who knows. Heading to Uluru and the Olgas tomorrow.

According to BOM website the rain appears to be local to Alice Springs, no rain at Gemtree or at Uluru.

.

Well, we are back in the Alice after doing Uluru and the Olgas. Went to have a look at Kings Canyon, hoping to get a cheap room (still raining, hate packing up the campsite when wet). No joy, only room was $400 per night!!!!!!

Had a look around Kings Canyon, definately need to spend some more time there, and hot foot back to Alice via Mereenie Loop.

Mereenie loop VERY wet, sliding all over the place, took us 5 hours to get to Hermannsberg from Kings Canyon. I would be avoiding all dirt roads until the rain stops now. In my view, Mereenie Loop road should be closed, but it is still open as I am typing this.
