One of the challenges of trying to run a remote business is being cutoff in the wet season (no fuel, food, parts or medicine in and God help you if you need medical help and can't get a helicopter out). To be fair we normally have a pretty good access, even in the wet season. Unfortunately this year we have had a couple of things accumulate at once, primarily a very large wet season along with road drains not being cleared out for repeated years in addition to having had gravel graded off too many times resulting in water not only running down the middle of the road but back and forth causing a fair amount of damage.

This isn't even the most washed out area sadly area (couldn’t reach that one). What makes this spot interesting is that it has springs and will continue running for quite some time to come. On the upside its so wet this year we aren't driving around (late start) and so don't need to buy diesel and the cattle and country are looking quite good (cattle greatly assisted by the amount of lick we feed).
