[QUOTE="mbasko, post: 280042, member: 4485"] [url]http://www.bom.gov.au/cgi-bin/wrap_fwo.pl?IDN60146.html[/url] Most local rivers are running well/swollen. Raining again today at Mudgee :rolleyes: I'm bloody over it! There have been a few road closures over the wet period too but mostly only lasting 24-48hrs. There is a lot of surface water, full dams around so run off over roads or filling waterways over crossings etc. doesn't take much at the moment. Thankfully it has been running off reasonably quickly again here though. Your biggest hurdle will be the surface water restricting access in some places, bog holes/boggy tracks, washed out gully crossings etc. There'll still be accessible areas around but others will be tricky or not worth the trouble. The people/trusts that manage a lot of these accessible areas aren't impressed by people getting bogged or tearing up tracks that are boggy so if it looks too boggy give it a miss. The 4wd hoons think it's great fun but these tracks are largely unmaintained & don't get funding to repair them after these weather events. I'd still make the trip but just plan it according to the weather. As Reeks said if a crossing etc. looks dodgy or your unsure of it then give it a miss. Not worth ruining your weekend. Might be a good time to check out some of the history etc. around Hill End etc.? [/QUOTE]
