No Racing, No Passable Roads

For the first time in the history of the Birdsville Races, the event has been cancelled by rain. Not only is the track too wet to race on, however the roads are also impassable. This means there are almost 5000 people stranded there......although those with commitments elsewhere are busily organising charter planes to get home. Yep - this is the road to Bedourie in normal dry times. And this is the road many are waiting for to dry out - along with the other roads that lead from Birdsville.
