• Have adequate equipment, supplies, skills & knowledge for the whole journey
• Consider the impact of weather forecasts, park/track closures & fire dangers
• Can respond to emergencies & call for help at any point

  Safety alerts: Storm Damage Warning on Walking Tracks
  Due to a severe storm that occurred on Thursday 23 January, visitors are advised to exercise caution when accessing walking tracks across the area. While some tracks have been closed for safety, others remain unassessed and may have damage or hazards we are not yet aware of.
  Note severe damage is expected on some walking tracks in Nighcap National Park & Whian Whian State Conservation Area.
  Please take extra care when visiting and follow all signage and closures.
  For further information or to report damage, contact the NPWS Kyogle office on 6632 0000.
  We apologise for any inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.
  
  Closed areas: Toonumbar Forest Drive & Coxs Road Closure
  Toonumbar Forest Drive and Coxs Road are closed until winter 2025. Estimated re-opening date is June following completion of maintenance works.
  Both roads are not safely trafficable in wet conditions and are therefore seasonally closed from late spring until late autumn dependant on rainfall during the wet season. There may also be additional closures during forecast weather events and damage during the winter period.
  This closure will affect the following areas:
  
  Murray Scrub Lookout
  
  Sherwood Lookout
  
  Iron Pot Creek Campground and Murray Scrub Walking track can be accessed via Murray Scrub Road.
  Penalties apply for non-compliance. For more information, contact Kyogle NPWS office on 02 6632 0000 or email [email protected]
