The Telstra mobile network has been restored in Yarralin, allowing for calls into and out of community again.
Please note that while the Victoria highway to Timber Creek (and through to WA) is now open, the road between Timber Creek and Yarralin through the Jasper Gorge is damaged and officially remains closed. There is significant wash-out at the Jasper Gorge bridge which will need to be repaired before trucks can enter community.
Store supplies are low – with flights coming into community limited to crucial goods only. Without a truck, the store will continue to have limited food available for some time. Restrictions on shopping are in place. Visitors (flying in) are requested to bring their own supplies.
The Dashwood Crossing is not expected to be passable for another month or two yet as water levels will need to lower significantly.
