Monitoring the floods

I am monitoring which roads are open and which are closed with widespread flooding in NSW and Victoria. 

The app is called Live Traffic NSW but information from other states can also be displayed.

The highway West from Broken Hill was closed this morning so I made a contingency plan but now highway is open so back to original for now.

It looks like the side trip to Meninde Lakes will be cancelled for flooding.

The Crossing Part 2

Crossed the Eastern end of the Nullarbor from Ecula to Ceduna. This part is about 500km- Shorter and so easier than the previous 800km section.

It was another rainy day and there were many shingle backs crossing the road.

We were prepared for quarrantine inspection and had nothing to declare as we entered Ceduna. 

The Crossing Part 1

Crossing the Western Nullarbor today from Norseman to Ecula.

Watched thunderstorms and lightning strikes across the plains. The only wildlife we saw were two different parties of emus.

Road lovers

The shingle backs continue to cross the road in front of my car.

The car really move fast on their stumpy legs - if they want to.

Hopetoun Beach - lovely. 

Eagle Eye

 We spotted this wedge tailed eagle hiding at the side of the road. It did not like that we spotted it and flew off higher and highrer up into the clouds.
