Because the Cape Leveque road is in places lower than the surrounding land, during rain the road becomes a creek.

Shows how when vehicles cross in places like this, they have to put two wheels up on the shoulder of the road. Section of Cape Leveque Rd between Beagle Bay and Willie Creek turnoff.

The Cape Leveque Road after a thunderstorm - muddy and slippery with water flowing down the road. The mud meant the vehicle slid to the lowest part of the road where the water was deepest. I didn't want to stop to take the photo. There was constant side to side as well as vertical movement - hence photo showing camera shake.

View of thunderstorm from the sealed road into Beagle Bay. What I was driving into though I never caught up with the storm only the muddy and slippery pindan track. (In 2010 there was less than 20km of bitumen before tackling the old original track. Closer to Broome there was a sealed section also). S39518
Road now sealed from end to end (2021)
