John Dawson was at Iron Knob on Sunday and the petrol station has closed. Fill up at Port Augusta.

Doc will have a sign out on the highway so hopefully this will help out a few as well.

G'Day Norm,

YES, orange, I think and everyone will be wearing a coloured wrist band to identify who they are, competitors vs spectators.

NO, this is the last year. Talk to John Dawson.

There is still a rumour going around that there is water on the lake.
It has not rained for all of February.
The lake was checked again last Sunday (27/02/2005)
So tell all your friends
THERE IS NO WATER ON THE LAKE!

I received the image from Garth and put it on the Lake Gairdner page yesterday, it's a great image and gives us some real understanding about the Lake. Thanks Garth

From da Pres, Rob Carrol;

You can have water up here that will never make it to the southern end where the track is located (this is a distance of about 150 kilometres). The northern end is also the entry point for any water to enter the lak...

Just spoke to Rob Carroll, the condition of the lake is excellent for this time of the year. They drove from the entrance to the lake across to the other side and back last Wednesday 29th Dec.
