confuse confuse cry ..... not sure anyone is panicking A-K confuse I would have thought fore-armed is fore-warned.

No need to panic - just keep away from roads that have been badly affected by rain - following advice on conditions is called being sensible I would have thought. confuse

The 'authorities' have much more important things to do than waste time and resources rescuing bloody tourists who ignore advice - particularly in times of adverse weather conditions.

We went for at climb up one of the peaks at Wilpena Pound today. Was pretty windy, had to brace our selves against a rock to hold the camera steady enough. Was a lot of water seeping out of the rock faces what with all the rain they have had the last week or so. Just starting again as I write this . Have just been told to put the BBQ on out side.
