With the end of the rain, the dry weather has allowed roadwork crews to patch the road, allowing passage to high clearance 4WDs earlier this week. Further work saw weight restricted single trailer trucks able to reach community today, with a load for the store of backlogged items that have been waiting to come out for about 4 months.
Above: The first truck into community was a welcome sight today.
The last of the flights of food have arrived, and with the return of regular trucks, things should begin to return to normal with a food truck scheduled for next week.
Major long-term roadworks and an upgrade of the Buchanan Highway will still be required, as the repairs to date are only temporary and will wash-away in the next wet if further repairs aren’t under-taken. We’re hopeful that work will begin later in the year.
Travellers are advised to take it carefully and drive to conditions but they should be able to get through with little issue.
