Ms Ringland had high hopes it would drop by this afternoon but urged residents not to bother trying to cross over to the hotel. The rain is set to continue across the Whitsundays into 2021 with up to 70mm of rain set for Collinsville on Wednesday, 60mm on Thursday and 35mm on Friday. Mackay region SES area controller Selina Neill urged residents to keep up to date with road closures at the Whitsunday Regional Council website. If it s flooded, forget it, she said. If you come across a flooded road, you need to back it up, turn around and maybe think of an alternate route.
