exxy fishing trip coming unstuck!

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!

Road still closed indefinitely. Hopefully might get some rain tonight to slow it down.

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 .
