    Big railway bridge or a little one?
    The general road bridges have been good for a while but the arahura and taramakau were both narrow things. The taramakau has bridge is still there but a big brand new road bridge has been put up.

    I don't think I know anymore than anyone else sorry.

    I need to get to Whataroa for a hunt.
    Heard that people have got as far as Franz from Hokitika even tho Road is closed. I will be towing a boat so will wait for the all clear.

    I know the big slip just north of the Whataroa bridge that had the road closed a week or so ago is not affected. It is still open.

    Rain has eased down there according to people I have spoken with.

    I will try and post any info as I come by it. Just packing gear now to head down when it is viable.

    I don't see why he won't be unless weather conditions prevent it.

    Dont worry all semi automatic rain making machines have been banned, a givealittle page has been set up to buy a new bridge and the PM has donned a souwester and heading to the coast for a praying session. No wait its your own fault for living on the west coast, Hope you guys are all ok despite the weather.
