Hi all,
As some of you may be aware, the local road reports, particularly in this region, are very important to travelers and locals alike. It lets people know what is happening in this region in terms of accessibility.
PLEASE have a quick look at these road reports before sending anyone this way.
Please also
check with surrounding shires for their road reports too because as you know, especially at this time of year, things change very quickly and as has happened in the past, people have been stuck, flooded in and even received damage to car and property due to roads being flooded.
As you can see, we are now flooded in AGAIN.
THANKS for your help.

Excellent info Debora
You said "have a quick look at these road reports". Do you have a link or something?
We are looking at a trip either up your way or across the Simpson in May.

Joe,
You need to then select the region in QLD you wish to
check for Road Conditions.
Your area is the same as
mine down here Outback QLD.
I have been slack lately and haven't updated the roads for around here, although most major roads are now being repaired :)
Cheers Kev

Not sure what happened to you but this get me to the road conditions for Outback QLD.
Hover cursor over "Articles", move the cursor down to "Road Conditions" and click. Then move cursor over "Qld" and move cursor down to "Outback QLD Road Conditions" and click.
