i know a few will be reading this so the road condition report is as follows....
The road is officially OPEN to the
NT/QLD border, there to Robertson River is "officially" closed ..... todays word from the NT roads is a contractor has been appointed to repair the Calvert and any other damage on that section, no idea when he will get there........
The actual condition is that the "Calvert" crossing is the sticking point, you can cross it but you MUST take the SOUTHERN side of the crossing as the middle and northern side are deep with very large rocks that will stop you fast ......
Probally about 10 4x4's have crossed it but it is CLOSED ATM .....
In this area the only closed road is the back way from Lawn Hill/Adels Grove to
Doomadgee....
Lawn Hill/Adels Grove .......OPEN
Kingfisher
Camp ..............OPEN
Hells
Gate ......................OPEN .... cash only, NO eftpos and limited fuel/food until supplys return to normal ....
Many crews are still out there working and BIG trucks on the road, pull over and give them the whole road ...... PLEASE TRAVEL SLOW AND SAFE, with the cost of fuel these days you would be VERY silly to go fast
Cheers all
Joe
