Anyone been in this area recently - we are seeking an update as we expect to be travelling in that area early in May 2011. Last report as at 7 March says
road closed.

Ray and Sue,
I heard this week that
Birdsville will only be accessable in 6 weeks time and that is only if there is no more rain. Water is still travelling down the Georgina and now that
Roma is flooded again (I know it is a long way from
Birdsville but the weather patterns indicate a wet inland) my guess is try another destination.

Birdsville is already accessible by road from the east - the road opened on Friday last week. My husband Ian travelled it on Sunday - the last part from
Windorah in the dark. It has been accessible by road from the north for a while - provided you wanted to travel from
Winton, past the
Middleton Hotel, east of
Boulia via Springvale and Coorabulka, east of
Bedourie via
Lake Machattie into
Birdsville. I will be flying into
Birdsville on Thursday 21 and will then give everyone an update on all road conditions and the Simpson. I will be taking my computer and camera with me (and binocluars for my birdwatching).
So keep posted and I will let you all know.
PS Way too much water around
Birdsville still for fishing - but Ian got a good supply of bigger (eating) yabbies today - need to find some creekfood for
Easter Friday (and as entree for the Anzac Day Feast we normally have).
HOw good is that?
