[quote="Avidbushwalker"Thank you again for the update. Feel free to let me know when you notice any changes.[/quote]
Not much has changed since 2021...
Rodriguez is extremely unlikey to ever be reopened - extremely dangerous.
Horsetrack is re-opened & is now easily navigable - it will be the preferred way into that end of the valley. The track builders are still working there during the week (at least another 3 months work on the lower slopes)- they've done an excellent job soo far. It's a much better track than prior to 2020.
Govetts/Williams Track still has lots of unopened white bags of material, work was about to start before the last rain event, but that now has to wait a few weeks until things stabilise. There is a significant landslide halfway down that looks like it reaches the Jungle Track turnoff.
I went down Horsetrack & up Perrys the day it reopened. It's nice not to see footprints until I met a couple of suprised rangers coming down Perrys.
The bit just past the gate is all steps - very narrow, steep for short sections, but solid.
The Creek was down at normal levels, but there was plenty of evidence that is was 3m higher. This was maybe a week after the recent rains.
It had been way over the track level - there was a little erosion and some sinkholes. The whole track is slashed for meter either side - it's mostly runnable for those so inclined.
And there are a couple of new deviations downstream from Junction Rock, that climb 30m above the creek, avoiding the lowest lying and easily flooded & eroded sections.
So next time NPWS closes the park due to impending rains, just have a look at how high the debris can get
And as a bonus keep an eye for the 2m Diamond Python lurking on the level section halfway down Horsetrack.
