[QUOTE="mbasko, post: 653260, member: 4485"] The area has had pretty much the wettest winter I can remember in a long time. The seasonal creeks are either flooded/running well or holding good water holes. Keep in mind due to this a number of local roads (causeways, low level crossings etc.) can be passable one minute & closed the next with even a relatively smallish downpour. Also seen pictures from Sofala recently of where some people were camped (Wallaby Rocks on the Turon I believe) & it was flooded in under an hour requiring SES assistance, so be mindful if setting up camp near these seasonal creeks/rivers - they can rise very quickly but do tend to drop quick too, if the rain stops. Phone reception can be very patchy around the area so make sure your not relying on a mobile in an emergency. You won't have time to arrange any Crown Land fossicking permits now either which will leave you pretty restricted on where to go. Most Crown Land there is under lease so land access is pretty tight anyway. [/QUOTE]
