Hi all,
Just letting you know that the Barrier Hwy between
Cobar and
Broken Hill has been cut on the
Broken Hill side of
Wilcannia. It is expected to be closed for at least a week.
Cobar to
Wilcannia is closed to heavy vehicles (light vehicles only allowed).
If you are coming from
Nyngan there is little to no warning until you get to
Cobar where you need to take a detour thru
Hay.
Cheers Wilko

Hi
John,
I'll try my hardest ; ) but the Darling is going to be running hard for weeks and months to come.
One positive out of all the rain/flooding is that the river red's in the overflow country get a drink.
I guess you take the good with the bad

It has ever been so.
If you read the
plaque at Coach and Horses
camp, it will tell you that the paddle steamers used to negotiate a small creek at the
camping area and travel out on the flood plain for several kilometers to the stations to load wool.
Hard to believe in the drought.
