Good morning!
An update regarding the track following the recent flooding.
Austin and Warren recently travelled to the track to check out the electrical damage.
If you haven't received a copy of the report of the electrical inspection that was sent out via newsletter this morning, please contact me and I will email it to you.
Smith's Point and all camps below: These are all self-powered with generators and have had no testing completed. These camps are advised to have their camps power system and appliances tested before energising.
Red Solo, Wild Side, Twoomey camp and Gregory Springs to our knowledge were not affected by flood waters, however it is advised they complete a visual inspection and take action if required.
The bore is active and filling the top tank.
Anthony Di Palma and Gary Cattle will be up on the 20th of this month to continue sorting electrical.
They will prioritise repairing the switchboards that went under water -
Wayne, Top of the Straight, Hassett, Murphy.
The road to the track is passable now so camp owners can travel out to inspect their camps. Please note that the road from the main turnoff and then from the station to the track is very washed out in places so travel slowly and carefully. Do not go off the road as it is extremely wet and you will get bogged.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Kind Regards
Deborah Woodhouse

RACE TRACK CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.
Please note that due the recent extreme weather event and the amount of rain received, the road is CLOSED to the race track.
Once it is reopened we will advise.
Ergon have isolated all power at the track which means there will be NO POWER until electricians can assess the damage and repairs carried out.
Obviously there is no water supply at the track either as there is major damage to both the electric pumps on the river and also on the bore.
Please be patient, once it is safe and access opened to the track you will be advised.
1956 was the last time the Copperfield River was this high.
Regards,
Deborah Woodhouse
