Just wondering if anyone has an idea of the correlation between how many mm of rain the Blue Mts receives, and how much the Kelpie Point river depth gauge increases? I.e. if there's 20mm of rain in the area, how much would you expect the Cox's to increase.
Kelpie point is currently at 0.6m, with 20mm of rain forecast for Friday and 20mm on Saturday, or thereabouts, would this render it uncrossable on Sunday?
Also any insight on the same issue for the Nattai and the Wollondilly rivers is much appreciated!
Thanks in advance for any responses!
My recollection was that anything over half a meter or so at Kelpie would make the Cox uncrossable at either/both of Yellow Pup or Mt Cookem crossings? Nattai isn't uncrossable very often (can be though!) and drains pretty quickly after a flood but i'd be dubious about the Wollondilly after a lot of rain. In any case, if planning on doing Katoomba to Mittagong (which I've inferred from the post, might be wrong), I think large parts of the route remain closed from fires (eg. Scotts Main being part of Kanangra Boyd NP)? Could be wrong about that too.
