From road report
Cunningham Highway - Warwick and Inglewood is closed indefinately at Sandy Creek due to flood waters being released from Leslie Dam

Does anyone know approximately how long road willl be closed ?

We are due to head to Melbourne 19/1/11 and were planning to go via Goondiwindi.

Pedro,

Goondiwindi south may be closed by then anyway, I would try and head down the New England and then cut across to the Newell.
Boggabilla is being evacuated so there is plenty of water around.

Pedro,

As you can get to Warwick, head south to Armidale/Tamworth then across to Gunnadah and south from there :)

HTH

Cheers Kev

Friends stuck here with us in Brisbane have similar dilemma but trying to leave today with roads cut north of Grafton still.
Suggested route is Ballina, Casino then either south to Grafton or out west to Tenterfield down to tamworth and then towards Dubbo.

Thanks.
Need to check out
Gold Coast to Warwick
Warwick to Tenterfield via Stanthorpe
Tenterfield to Armidale via Glen Innes*
Armidale to Tamworth

* RTA road conditions report Grafton to Glen Innes on Gwydir Hwy between Tindals Rd Grafton and Dundee Rd
Glen Innes closed in both directions.

Not sure if Tenterfield to Armidale via Glen Innes is affected by above.

May need to go via Boonah to Aratula and then to Warwick but not sure of Cunninghams Gap after Aratula, or if Warwick is now passable.

Does anyone know an interactive site that not only gives directions but also any road problems?
