What a full few weeks! Rain still coming so please, careful on dirt roads, and the Barrier highway is NOT going to be cut at Wilcannia, we have a high river but NOT a flood.

The roads closed are Wilcannia – Tilpa, both  sides of the river, and the Wilcannia – Menindee east side of the river. Check the Central Darling Shire road report for all other roads including the Cobb highway. Please feel free to ring me if I can help.

Cheers for now, have fun, Bill Elliott. WCTA.
