A warning to people planning to travel north for the winter in WA... quite a few roads are closed along the west Pilbara and Gascoyne region. Roads into national parks have been closed too, but aren't listed here.
Hope you are enjoying warmer weather than it is at home Gerty. Please don't get washed away. There's a big wet coming to WA by the look of the weather forecast tonight - but you may be far enough north to miss the worst.
Hi NeilnRuth, its been pretty wet at home too I believe! It looks as if most of the current rain band will be to the south, but cant be sure about anything!
Heard the road to Coral Bay had opened today and phoned to check... yes its open but they are full till Sunday! We dont often book ahead, but in this case we have booked a site there for a week.
We'll look after both sides of the country for you Doug!
Had an interesting little trip to Coral Bay... (a day early due to a booking mix-up in our favour)
Checked that the road was still open this morning, yep! Off we went, turned off onto the Coral Bay- Exmouth road, to be confronted by a bloke putting out the "Road Closed" sign. Flooding he said. the river had risen again.
So we chucked a U-ie and headed to Coral Bay via Burkett road which took over 2 hours extra, but all is well, we're here safely.
