Roads around Birdsville Closed

Ruth


You know me better than that- I'm not complaining at all. I'll wait til it is dry. Just hope the participants don't panic and try to get here.

Wim is here to do the Hay with me

David, there's been a rollover on the Bedourie road. Hope everything will be ok.
Wim - thought you might be out there - Ian came back on Sunday morning. We've just had a couple of weeks there - had a great time camped at the ferry with Stephen L and Fiona. Got a fair bit to tell both of you as well!

I saw the ambos and police go out. I hope it isn't one of my customers. Heard nothing so far.

We are in Boulia at the moment (had to get out of Diamentina NP this morning) so having local knowledge when do you think the boulia to birdsville road will be open again. I tried the govt websites but they are slow to react to the rain.
Also are the roads south to Innamincka closed as well?
We appeciate any info supplied.

Cheers Hunjy

Hunjy, your best bet is to wander into the Boulia Police Station - they should be able to phone through to Bedourie station and ask them - that is the simplest way for you to find out. Haven't heard about the roads down Innamincka way - again, ask at the Police Station - they will talk to Bedourie and Birdsville and Neil McShane OIC Birdsville will know.
Sorry you had to leave Diamantina NP so suddenly - one of our favourite places - muddy when wet though!
Safe travels.

Thanks ruth,
Will do as you suggest.

Spoke the copper at Boulia this morning and he said they would check the Boulia-Bedourie road out on Friday morning and then make a decision if it will open or not.
