We crossed back across NSW from SA just before they closed the Newell and as most of the state is waterlogged west of the Great Divide there are plenty of mossies around pretty much everywhere. If there is a breeze they stay away but if its still then they will be around especially around dusk.
NSW RMS and local council websites will have the latest on road closures.

We have just travelled back on the Barrier Highway, some of which follows the Darling River, which had broken it's banks in many places. If Dubbo and Forbes are anything like that then be prepared the mozzies were horrendous.

Unfortunately the little suckers are out of control after all the rain & flooding we have had. I always look forward to getting to the Murray. Now that the water has finally subsided the mozzies will be unbearable. They are bad enough here & I live a couple of klms off the Loddon river

Have one of those sprays every 30 seconds or so at night.. Sleep with light cover. We have some N.T mozzy repellent. Works a treat..

If you travel to SW WA - be very careful with the mossies. They are currently very bad and the Health Dept are predicting record Ross River infections - there were about 300 or so last spring (if in fact we are in spring)

If you are planning on using the Newell, the highway is still closed between Marsden ( the turn off to Grenfell ) and Forbes.
