Trapped campers told to stay put
Posted Tue Nov 2, 2010 11:19am AEDT

Map: Licola 3858 Campers trapped by floodwaters in the remote Wonnangatta valley in Gippsland's high country are being warned to stay where they are.

About 100 millimetres of rain has fallen in the Wonnangatta River catchment, cutting off four-wheel-drive tracks in and out of the valley north of Licola.

Police say up to 50 campers may be stranded in the valley.

Senior Constable Greg Cogan from Heyfield Police says campers should assume they could be stranded for up to five days.

"[They should] remain at their campsites and not attempt to cross any swollen rivers until they subside to a safe level," he said.

"Also we've received advice that the Zeka spur track to the east of the Wonnangatta Valley is not to be used as a possible exit because it's become impassable."

[b]Police organise food drops for stranded campers[/b
]Posted 2 hours 3 minutes ago

Map: Dargo 3862 Police are organising food drops for two groups of campers trapped by floodwaters in the Gippsland high country.

One group in the Wonnangatta Valley, north of Licola, is stranded because their four wheel drives were swamped when they tried to cross the river.

Another group of seven men are cut off by flood water in the Crooked River near Dargo.

The mother of one of the men, Helen Beggs from Warragul, says they have been stuck in the area since Saturday.

"They've actually run out of food," she said.

"The police are really good. They're going to assess the river today. If there's no improvement in the river, they'll arrange for food to be dropped in."
