Has any one been on the
Woodstock to
Marble Bar road in the last couple of weeks ?
planing a trip up there in a couple of weeks and was wondering if the country has dryed out in this area.

Hi Kerry
We were there 6 weeks ago for a week and everything was rather wet through steady rain. Started raining around 2am one night and all of the next day. The place was fairly wet. It has rained on and off since then. Believe they got around 2.5mm yesterday or, the day before.
If in doubt go the black top via Hedland.
Tony

G'day Kerry F & Tony S
The region has had several days/nights of steady rainfall between 2 and 12 mil.
The
Newman to
Nullagine road (Old Great Northern Highway) is still closed to all traffic today. The Hillside Station/
Woodstock to
Marble Bar road would be closed seeing its all unsealed. Telfer village had 11 mil ~ so the northern approach to the
Rudall River N/P would be adversely affected. if not impassable.
