What part of Breakfast Creek? I crossed Breakfast Creek at the base of Glenalan Spurs and then again at the base of Faithful Hound Ridge on 24 August and it was flowing at both locations then. I have found that Breakfast Creek can be flowing in one location but not another at times - it must flow underground in places.
Rain on the coast - yes. Rain inland of the Divide - no. I remember coming down the Kanangra once when it was bone dry the whole way. Made for very fast travel.
