It absolutely pissed down on the day we were travelling from Lake Googs to Mt Finke, wipers were going flat out and the track was rushing like a river! It was good bloody fun. The next day, the track from the northern end to Kingoonya was in pretty good nick but water covering the road in many many places. Out at Glendambo there is an inland lake, haha, soooo much rain up there. We were laughing as when I mentioned rain when we were ready to go at Ceduna, old mate walking past cracked it, "Oh, and you believe in the fuckin tooth fairy too mate, it never rains on Googs!" well we showed him!
The Oodna can get pretty wild with a bit of rain, my mum was the Governess up at William Ck in the 90's, she taught the pub owners kids, old Peter now owns the Pink Roadhouse up the road
They got rained in a few times and got caught out one day on the old track that runs through one of the properties, they had to take it as you cop huge fines if caught on the Oodna after rain.
