I wish I could go too.  I could well be an unusual experience.

I called the Ceduna Police station today and asked whether there are any restrictions on travelling out to Border Village or through Yalata (sticking to the highway) and their advice was there are no restrictions in place. I'm still weighing up my options on this one. The weather forecast looks promising, it's a good long ride and I currently can't think of anything better to do at this time of year  :think1

Where did you get the long range weather forecast ? Best I can find is 10 days.
If the weather is good I may wave at you from the quarantine station  :grin

A rough guide and no more or less accurate than BOM from my experience.

Julie and I are very much looking forward to the trip, leaving Thursday and o/night at the Iron Knob pub, Friday at Ceduna, Saturday at Border Vilage, Sunday at Fowlers Bay, Monday at Elliston, Tuesday at Wilmington and Wednesday home via Germain Gorge and Barunga Gap (Stinky Pete and I did this Wilmington to home route last week on our Blackwood to Coober Pedy trip). A mate may be joining uson part of the trip back - work commitments prevent him going the whole hog. If any othe Ozstocer would like to join us at BV - the more the merrier.

Great to hear about the tyres John. We too are packed and ready to roll. Safe travels and we're hoping we can make it on from the Iron Knob Hotel tomorrow night. We have been advised it can be an "experience".

Thanks Lindsay,
Just had a call from Mitch, he is joining me. When I saw you had posted I thought maybe Lindsay is also coming.
We will do our usual, tonight Norseman, but 2 nights Eucla instead of Border Village and Sunday night at Norseman on the way home.
