Grampians Closures

Post by honeysucker » 08 April 11 12:07 am

If you are planing on going into the Grampians Vic over Easter i am lead to believe that there are large areas that are still closed from the floods and landslides earlier this year.
exert from "Parks Victoria"
"There is widespread damage throughout the park that
includes unstable boulders, soil and trees. Park staff and
Vicroads are working hard to assess the damage.
It is important that visitors stay away from these areas as they
remain very unstable and could move again, especially after
further rain. Access roads and the wider gravel road network
are severely damaged. These roads are expected to remain
closed for some time.
Road Closures
• Northern Grampians Road (Mt Victory Road) - Halls Gap to
Wartook
• Grampians Road - Halls Gap (From Lake Bellfield Picnic
Area) to Dunkeld
• Silverband Road
• All seasonal roads in the Northern Grampians
Walking Track and Site Closures
• All Wonderland walks (including Venus Baths and the
Pinnacle)
• Mackenzie Falls Walks and Zumstein Area
• Balconies and Reeds Lookout
• All walks in the Victoria Valley, Victoria Range (Western
Grampians), Mt William Range, Mafeking and Mt Abrupt.
• Golton Gorge Picnic Area & Golton Gorge Loop Walk
• Mt Difficult and Tilwinda Falls walking tracks
• All remote overnight hikes in the Grampians National
Park (including the Mt Difficult, Major Mitchell Plateau, Fortress
& Wonderland hikes)
Campground Closures
Jimmy Creek, Borough Huts, Boreang, Buandik, Strachans,
Smiths Mill and Bomjinna Campgrounds.

The Prom will be off limits for a while too, but someone found Top End 'o The Prom the other day so it's probably open down to Darby River where the bridge is being replaced/repaired.

Correction: It's open to the airfield which is just before Darby River.
