Hi
We are heading north next Friday through
Bourke,
Hungerford to
Currawinya NP, then through to
Hughenden,
Muttaburra,to
Cobbold Gorge and Undera. Lot of rain in these
places recently and just wondering what this means for
Currawinya and Bindigolly? National Park. RACQ says some roads are closed (
Hungerford-
Eulo) but no mention on access to
Currawinya NP or other attractions. I see from an earlier post that
Bourke and
Cobar were very busy last week as people presumably could not get off the bitumen. Any comments on what current conditions are like in SW QLD appreciated.
cheers

The Paroo River floods the road just north of
Hungerford but south of
Currawinya NP so the park is often accessible from the north but not from the south. You could come up from
Bourke to
Cunnamulla and go to
Currawinya via
Eulo and probably get there. The road is normally in quite good condition but may have tyre tracks after rain.
Check the park itself at WWW.derm.gov.au. You can
check all Queensland national parks on that web site.
Cheers,
Kevin

No rises on Paroo according to BOM river monitoring at
Caiwarro gauge in the northern part of
Currawinya.
Check out Park Alerts at www.nprsr.qld.gov.au for information on the National Parks. No current warning for
Currawinya or Lake Bindegolly. The latter in right on the bitumen so wont have any troubles there.
Hungerford or
Eulo Pubs would be able to give you up to date info on the roads. Happy traveling!
