Last Sunday I headed off for a couple of days in the bush. This particular walk meant crossing the Wollondilly river, so I checked the water levels on the BOM site which indicated it had dropped almost back to normal. Seeing it had been a good 7 days of nice weather since the big rains I thought it would be pretty accurate but on a approach yo the river I was met with a still raging torrent.
I don't know much about how they gauge the levels, so I'm assuming the depth is right even though the width of the river was way wider than normal? If you HAD to cross it it was doable but risky (especially with a full 3 night winter pack) but the flow was awesome.
Anybody else have any river crossing troubles over the weekend?
