The weather radar shows bugger-all activity, and the 28 day rain forecast shows negligible precipitation, so I'n not concerned. If I get there and the road is closed, I reckon one or two six-packs later and a snooze and it will be open, worst-case scenario, and I'm not expecting that to happen.
Thunderbirds are go!

[Norm]

If you look at Norrong rain fall there has only been about 7mm over the past day. Just enough to wet the dust down.

Nothing to worry about

Stater you engines, Thunderbirds are go.

The Lake is Dry,,,,
Mt Ives has had a bit of rain ,
Nonning copped a few mm and the road in has had a few patch's about the place,
The Road in is in great condition and has been closed to protect the freshly graded surface from getting rutted up by vehicle traffic...
Forcast is good ,, keep workin on your race vehicles girls and boys ..

Don't forget to get onion rings at lumpy dacks in Pt Augusta to Fart on Outback Trev's Hot Dim Sim Supper..

Yup!
Found out today at Nonning that there had been falls of 1.3mm & 3mm so all sounds good.
Only another 1.3mm at the end of the week predicted. Sounds like good weather ahead after that too.
Bring it on

any member and especially newbies take 5 on the way in at "the phonebox" near siam station .Pull up have a drink or a snack and put in a coin for a worthy donation . News recently was that vandals had smashed the glass but pull up anyway .

[PLUCKA]

Penny is correct the phone box which has been converted to a donation box for the Royal Flying Doctor service which any of us could use when we are out her, was vandalised by some wankers. I caught the people responsible and their efforts and their day in court is coming.

On ya plucka!!
Not sure how you got them, but well done anyway.
We certainly support the RFDS down here. They fly in from time to time.
Many wouldn't even know the importance of thier service, let alone who much it costs, especially to remote areas.

Do you have anything to add to the condition of the track in???
