Geelong to Broome in the wet

Stick to the black top it goes all the way now. The only time you may have problems if they have a big storm some where or a Cyclone. Just got to keep your eye on the weather, happy travels.

you are gunna have to go up to Katherine and turn left onto the Vic hwy, you may get stuck at various crossing between Katherine and Broome with heavy rains, the Vic river can cut the hwy as can some crossings out of Kunanurra , just keep tabs on the weather but it takes a fair bit of rain to get to that stage and mostly starts mid Jan so you should be fine, forget the dirt/gravel roads and stick to the tar ......
When you hear of "heavy" rains at this time of the year (up north) it is far from cutting the major hwys, the likes of the Vic river and others will rise up to 15-20M and that takes a shtload of rain and mostly associated with the cyclones and lows that follow after, no cyclones "yet" but there will be ......

Hi there,
Two places that could have stopped you for a while between Katherine and Broome were the Vic river at Victoria River road House and Fletcher Creek (south of Halls Creek.)
The Vic now has a new high level bridge and Fletcher Creek has a new bridge also.

The WA main roads department has been pretty active in providing/upgrading the river crossings.

Cheers all for the friendly advice, no real surprises but it's good to hear from some critters in the know. I'll let you all know how I get on.
Thanks again.
