ROAD TO THE TIP RIGHT NOW

So after all of the confusion about the Cyclone Ann, which was firstly an extremely late one as we do really not have cyclones in mid-May. It could have obviously been like all the other cyclones so more wind and rain were predicted than we ended up with. Below is the road yesterday (sorry about the small size of the photos).

Sorry that some wrong-doers have made this needing a mention: These newsletters are subject to the Law of Copyright - the only way to legally spread them is a link to this page or a proper Facebook share (cropping text and photos out of it to use them to build one's own Facebook post is ILLEGAL).

Laura River north crossing was dry, and the water well under the bridge (the remains of Ann crossed further north instead).

There was water in almost all dips, on the below photo is the creek at Musgrave.

All in all the road had wet sections but not very many and not very bad ones (on the photo below is the section from Musgrave to Coen).

There were roadworks south of Archer (Coen to Archer section is on the photo below).

Archer River crossing was closed at one stage, when it gets over 0.4m the Coen police will close it for the traffic.

Obviously not as bad as during the wet season, but the road is not maintained to the dry season standards, and has not been graded yet (Telegraph Road is on the photo below).

Also as usual after the wet season, there were lots of holes and washouts in places, Southern Bypass on the photo below.

It was raining in the southern and northern parts, with clearer skies in the middle (Northern Bypass is on the below photo).

All in all it is easily doable if driven to the conditions. There are slower parts and a need to watch the road and slow down in a lot of places.

FEEDBACK ALWAYS WELCOME

I really appreciate any kind of feedback on the Destination Guide.

Please let me know if you enjoyed it while planning before the trip, and while using the information once on the trip.

If you get any questions about anything, please feel welcome to contact me.

That's all for this time - happy planning, and happy travels to those on the road!!

Have a great day :-)

Katrin.
