The problem of flooding of Wollombi Road in The St Albans Common is over, the water level has now dropped below the road surface. The Wollombi Road is however still very slippery and not reccomended for floats and trailers.
Tom Perkins commented (23/8/07) that the Wollombi Road is only suitable for 4WD if you are towing a caravan or Float and not very suitable for 2WD vehicles, its still very slippery after the flood. Also there is a fallen tree partially blocking Wollombi Road about 2 km north of the Common.

20/8/07, Shahzada public address is operational on 90.9 FM. Most car radios will start to receive the 90.9 transmission about 5km out of the village. The channel will be silent until there is a PA announcement.



Participation in the 400 km Shahzada is a unique experience for qualified endurance riders while the two Single Day 80 and the 3 day training ride allow riders to "sample" the spirit of the marathon event.

Riders, Strappers and friends are reminded to bring a radio to receive the Public Address announcements outside the vetting area on 90.9MHz FM, (Licence has been received from ACMA).
