Sorry to say we are out, Jay cannot afford the time away from UNI.

Don't waste a day, not while your breathing.

Thanks for letting us know Michael.

This ongoing wet weather is starting to concern me. I am looking at around 1600 klm round trip and not looking at doing it in the wet.

Now planning to head off next Thursday and arriving Broke Friday pm.

As of today (Sunday 3rd) there is major flooding at Bulga which is not far away and it is forcast for scattered showers all this week, including Saturday, so it will definately be wet underfoot at Broke.

Make sure you have plenty of cover with you

SAVE the BOX JELLYFISH, they have just had bad press !

Unfortunately Maggie and I have just made the decision not to go.

We have been unable to drive from home to the highway for a week as the Brisbane River is flooded up here. There is flooding all around us, the wet weather is expected to continue and there is a tropical low in the north that they expect to turn into a cyclone this coming Friday.

When I look at the reports across NSW it isn't all that much better and as Squizz just mentioned before there is flooding down there as well.

Towing two and a half ton of caravan on wet potholed roads for fifteen hundred kilometres would be no fun and then if the cyclone breaks loose the chance of being able to get back home following the COG would not be good.

If I had no current commitments and able to move along at a nice pace and stay as long as I wanted it would not be an issue.

I expect some of you living down that way may still attend. If you do I hope you have a great time and certainly will miss not being able to be with you.

Cheers
