    Sydney to Wagga Wagga, overnight at Hay.
    Hay to Balranald to Murray Bridge through to Adelaide.
    Could do it in 17-18hrs straight if you are really keen.

    Major flooding in the Culgoa and and Moonie river systems in Queensland is expected to cause minor to moderate flooding along the Barwon Darling River from mid March onwards into April.

    Wilcannia - Reach minor flood level (9 metres) early May - Possible further rises possible if the Paroo overflow reaches the Darling River
    Don't think it will be a problem for a trip to Adelaide, but there's lots of possibles

    It may be advisable to book accommodation sooner than later - motels, ... get very busy around Easter.

    You are travelling at easter.
    Peak time of year.
    Truckies doing last run etc and streets are mayhem, extra road patrols and fuel price be up.
    May I suggest also to fly, it be cheaper, less exposure to potential accidents and there in under 2hrs.

    Fly with a scheduled airline - clearly the most economic and safest way to travel at that time
