exxy fishing trip coming unstuck!
Submitted by Oracle on Tue, 2012-01-10 10:37
got the boat packed ready to leave this morning but that bloody fire is going hard still. can't go via inland due to local flooding.
Anyone got any inside info from locals or people on the ground as when the roads may be opened and if exxy will even hard fuel when we get there? tried all the normal sites and really not a lot of info outside of CLOSED.

Fishing Trip
Oracle,
try Kalbarri until the road is opened, Palm Resort is $55/night at the moment, thats very reasonable and there are easterlies all this week, good to hug the coast and head noerth or south. Worth a go until the road is opened.
Cheers
Old Banga!

Not good
Road still closed indefinitely. Hopefully might get some rain tonight to slow it down.

Doesn't matter fellas
We made the call and drove around the long way last night. If you see the black sabbath, pop over and say hi!

So far, been excellent!,
I think our biggest issue is gonna be exxy running out of fuel :(
Bit of a side effect of being cut off to the rest of the world. Fish are on, weather is mint and looks to be another week of it. I could think of a heck of a lot of other places I'd rather not be stuck at .
