Hi all,

This RFI which I sent out yesterday never made it to the listserv I believe:

In October friends from overseas (USA and Germany) will be visiting us. 
Although 

we were originally planning to fly into Cairns and drive up to Cape York, I 
changed my mind and would like to travel with them into the (currently not so) 
dry outback to enjoy this rare POST-rain phenomenon. I was thinking of a 
similar 

trip to Paul's (see below).
Is there any experience out there how things may change (both birds and 
weather) 

over the coming five weeks (we would be there in the first two weeks of 
October)?

Paul: "Ruth and I are currently in Port Augusta en route to Alice Springs. Our 
planned 

route was via Lyndhurst and Oodnadatta Track (with small diversion along 
Strezlecki Track to Mount Lyndhurst Station). However I have found out that 
Oodnadatta Track, Strezlecki Track and most of Birdsville Track are CLOSED due 
to heavy rain, with at least 100 people stranded at Lake Eyre and William Creek 
(mostly at the pub!) A day or two later and we'd have been stranded too."


Cheers,

Nikolas
