Thread: Travel Times - Currawinya to Bourke

I see... but here 10-20mm means your effectively not getting any rain, is it negligible there? or is it more serious?

I see in Sydney they get 50mm and there is flooding.... 50mm here and we haven't noticed any rain yet.

I'm down south towards Wagga but I see that the BOM forecast for Bourke tomorrow is 8-25mm. Previously I've found unsealed roads in the lower western to stay closed for a week during winter after only light rain and then opened after a w/e rather than before.

around Bourke the whole countryside will be sheets of water after 20mm of rain. It just lies there and fairly quickly disperses......but you just cannot drive until it dries.

so a couple days after rain it's all good?

probably not......and you may be get fined very heavily out there if you cut up a track.....

I'm planning on not cutting up tracks, hence why the questions.

Or even just be caught driving on a closed road.

as i'd expect. one would hope that they are not lazy about opening roads, I've seen Qld roads stay closed for months after they are fine to pass just because council is too lazy to move a sign.
