just arrived here in Barcaldine in the middle of a storm -wet everywhere and a very wet campsite. Can anyone let me know an updated road report to Longreach and what are the conditions like in the camp sites. Someone told me they are a bog hole and will take a week to dry out?

May I be one of the first to welcome you to the forum
I am sure that if anyone from the forum is at Longreach, they will come along and let you know of the local conditions
As Aus-Kiwi has pointed out, as at about 5.24 PM Queensland time the Landsborough Highway, Barcaldine to Longreach section, was not reported as being closed The locals would be the best bet to talk to, unless a forum member can come up with an up to the minute report
One piece of advice I received from more experienced travellers, was to sit tight, until the weather is right
The free camp at Longreach will be very boggy . The advice from Tony bev to stay put till everything dry out is right , A member of this forum got stuck in a free camp at Winton not long back stay safe and maybe go to a caravan park in Barcaldine
Yes .. It doesn't take long to dry out either . Never stop in low ground or where ya have up hill to start moving .. Locals have the best info . Can't have too much info ..
