Here's the latest from a phone conversation Shane had with one of the event organisers the other day!
Currently, the beginning bit and the end bit are the only parts of the road not actually underwater.
The greater, middle portion is effectively a lake.
The Ord Dam is at 220% capacity, with 9m of water over the top of the dam wall!
A couple of the rivers are currently unpassable.
They had 300-500mm of rain in two days only recently.
If there is no more rain before the event, the water typically recedes quickly.
There is a pretty strong chance that they will organise an alternate route.
If needs be, they are proposing winching vehicles one-by-one to get them over the rivers…
It’ll make for good memories!?
800km of corrugations and crocodiles ~ 1 bike ~ 4 seats ~ nil suspension. A team fund raising event across the Kimberley run by WA Police.
