ROAD, WEATHER AND SEASON

After the excptionally late wet season, the rivers on the main road are finally going down, but some side tracks can still be under deep water.

The road is generally ok, as always this time of the year there are washouts, but people are getting up, even in caravans.

Just need to slow down, there is a washout to watch out for near Moreton, where somebody broke their caravan.

The roads still closed are Battlecamp, Running Creek, Stracke-Wakooka, and the northern part of the road through Lakefield National Park.

Others still have the 5T load limit at this stage: Batavia, Port Stewart, the shortcut roads between PDR and BDR, and the southern part of the road through Lakefield National Park.


LOCAL BUSINESSES OPEN

Local businesses are starting to open for the tourist season, and Loyalty Beach has opened their beautiful beach restaurant.

A great place to stay and enjoy a cooked meal for dinner.

Make sure not to miss out if you are up here in June :-)


NO MORE UPDATES IN THE DESTINATION GUIDE

Since the Destination Guide was updated in late April, there are no more big updates coming until 2023.



If you already have the Guide and bought within the last two years, send me an email and I will send you the latest version.

If you don't already have the Guide - with no more udates it's a great time to buy :-)
