Good news.... the Barra comp is going ahead, the pub is in the final stages of getting a temp bar in place and all will be set for a fantastic weekend, the weather has cooled down and even
camping is possible, mozzies are high at the moment but that is the norm for up here, just be prepaired .....
Please if you are up near here make a weekend out of it,
well worth it .. and Burktown needs all the support they can get ......
OK now for road conditions, access from the NT via the
Savannah Way is not possible at the moment, the crossings are all at least 1.2m deep and washouts everyware and it is still "leagally" closed but even that aside it is simply not possible to make it so dont try yet, give it a week and maybe it will go down....
The
water around
Normanton is still very high so access from that way is still shut also, the ONLY way is from Curry up to 'Burk n Wills" and head out WEST to
Gregory Downs and north to Burky, Lawn Hill/Adeles Grove is open so lots to see still, it will be possible to get to
Normanton from Burk n Wills but not
Karumba "yet", maybe by the end of
Easter it will be and what an awsome place to be for the "run-off" of Barra if you do make it ....
Cheers all and hope some can make the trip, i wont be their as we are busy here at
Doomadgee.
