The crossing below the camp has dropped to 200mm over the road at 08:00. There is still water over Mt Stanley Crossing #1. Hopefully the crossings will be clear late today or tomorrow. Weather predictions tell us that there should be no rain so the chances of further flooding is minimal.

We have just received police advice that the road from Moore is clear and no large potholes. The river crossings are navigable by large vehicles and four wheel drives only - small or light vehicles are not recommended.

Check the link posted by @glenc before deciding your actions. Our advice remains: If it's flooded - Forget it, and drive safely to the conditions.

Further update tomorrow morning.

Well I had a fun drive up yesterday. Campervan broke down at Kilcoy - oil got out somewhere 😬

Did some solar observing in the car park while we waited 6 hours for the tow truck.

Hopefully it's something small and the mechanic in Kilcoy can fix 🤞

Such a shame because last night looked soo good.

Looks line a lonely place compared with the past, I suspect due the empty real estate that h0ughy normally occupies. I had planned to travel up this year but somehow forgot to plan the trip and given the terrible weather probably a blessing. Keep the happy snaps coming please…

Actually every night from Sunday onwards has been clear and a few very good in term of seeing. It's still clear tonight.

If they taste anything like they smell, I think there would be plenty of leftovers. I was patting it, trying to get it out the front gate with Andrew the manager, and "aromatic and penetrating" would best describe its smell in a kindly manner.

Thanks to Chris, Tony, Anne-Louise, Dennis and Anthony for putting on a great event under some difficult circumstances. There was an enormous amount of work that went into running this event so I’d just like to express my appreciation for all their hard work.

Congratulations guys!

Joe Cali
