25.01.2022 UPDATE: The Archers is open again with the water falling back down below the cause way almost as quickly as it came up Coen police have closed the archer rive...r crossing due to the cause way being over 600mm We wouldn’t expect it to stay over very long so keep and eye on the bom river height for all the latest if you are heading that way. http://www.bom.gov.au/fwo/IDQ65399/IDQ65399.527003.plt.shtml Image: Coen Police

24.01.2022 IF IT'S FLOODED, FORGET IT: rivers are rising rapidly around Cook Shire, with the Archer River and Myall Creek on the Peninsula Development Road closed, the Lit...tle Annan on the Mulligan Highway almost over, and the McLeod River rising fast. Remember, entering floodwaters puts not only you at risk, but also emergency services if you need to be rescued. Don't risk it!
