If the weir is flooded, we will be postponing the ride. I'll check with the park office tomorrow arvo.

Will try to check it out late tomorrow. I should be riding to Woodford on Sunday morning if it dries out.

ChopStiR, I have been watching the parks website for a few weeks and the details for Glenbrook precinct, haven't changed from closed. I was down there during this time, the road was open and the weir only had about 100mm of water over it.

Do they announce on the website 'weir closed'?

just spoke to BaldOcca and he has just been shown a photo of the causeway under 2m of water. Photo taken late yesterday. Canceling the ride. Will reschedule for when it dries out a bit.
