Well it will be an interesting trip with the way this weather is going.
It is still overcast here with spasmodic showers now and then. They are still getting some rain up north also here and there but not anything heavy, but enough to add some excitement on the tracks.
Talk about a long wet season.

If the rain stops when we get to Cairns, can we take credit for it??
I know we'll cop the blame if it doesn't..............

You will get full credit if it stops for sure ;D
If it doesn't, the consequences will be pretty bad ;D

Same. Beautiful clear day through NSW, but we could see the cloud front at the border.
We're in Miles, where are you Pete?

quick question, it states that Lakefield is closed north of the Ranger Station (is this at Laura??), and potential for closures around the
cape until the 15th.. as i am staying at Hann crossing about the 2nd week, and i know there is a SWAG trip before, do i have to now
consider diversions to musgrave via PDR now rather than going thru lakefield ???

Check with the rangers to be on the safe side.
