Hello I'm off to
Perth from the
Gold Coast on March 31 and have booked accommodation along the way as follows.
31st -
Goondiwindi
1st -
Bourke
2nd -
Cockburn (originally via
Bourke-Wilcannis road but it looks like I might be going via
Cobar. Extra 100 kms but I'll handle that
3rd -
Minnipa
4th - Border Village
5th -
Norseman
6th Arrive in
Perth to stay with rellies.
Nature is throwing up a few roadblocks in the way of floods so I'd like advice.
1 The Kamilaroi is closed between
Walgett and
Bourke due to a washout. What do you reckon are the chance of that being passable by April 1st. If it isn't what options for a detour do I have?
2 Two days later I travel across the temporary crossing at
Pine Creek on the Barrier Hwy just south of
Cockburn while they repair the bridge- will I be ahead of the next batch of flood waters? The detour for that is over 300 kms unless someone has a better idea.
I'll be traveling by myself in my '04 3.0L DX Patrol so I have a number of options.
All replies gratefully accepted.
