So what is the State Government going to do about providing support for the poor bastards stranded north of the Cooper. I've already heard about problems these people are having accessing southern services.
Where are the SES? They patted themselves on the back for saving Innamincka when the flood got nowhere near the town, said Innamincka was inaccessable even though it was via Epsilon for the most part and then told the media the Punt Crossing was kilometres wide when it is 250m.
They had boats at Innamincka and yet the Cooper at the ferry crossing is being crossed by small private tinnies with insufficient freeboard for the conditions. When you really need the SES they are not to be found.

It is now 4 months since it was known that the Birdsville Track will be cut and now the barge is 3-4 months away!

Hey Stephen,
Please find below an update that you can attribute to a Department for Infrastructure and Transport spokesperson.
The barge will be transported in sections to South Australia from Western Australia and will be modified to suit its unique environment before it can begin servicing the community.
Once it arrives in Adelaide, the vessel will take three to four months to construct, cart to site, and launch.
The proposed barge configuration is approximately 36 metres long (excluding the on and off ramps) and 12 metres wide at its widest point, with capacity to accommodate two semi-trailers, one B-Double, or eight four-wheel drive vehicles at a time.
We are currently working through the operational model to determine loading patterns and other details, which we hope to be able to share with the community soon.
It is proposed the barge will be guided by cables and will be pushed back and forth by a tender boat, which is essentially a support vessel, helping to guide the barge and provide the propulsion.
We expect the barge will make up to 18 to 27 crossings each day, supporting the efficient movement of livestock to market and providing for general freight and tourist access.
The Department is currently preparing the access roads to accommodate the vehicles that will transport the barge to site, including cranes and other heavy equipment.
Work to rock low lying areas on the southern approach has begun this week, providing a solid base for traffic.
The northern access track will be widened and re-sheeted in sandy areas to accommodate two-way traffic, with these works due to start later this month.

Just been informed that National Park Rangers are stationed over the next five weeks at Haligan Point (in from William Creek) and Level Post Bay (in from Marree) warning visitors not to walk in the national park.
