Dicksons Falls Nature Walk (Mount Buffalo National Park)
Dicksons Falls & Back Wall Tracks CLOSED
As a result of the fires in the southern end of Mt Buffalo in January 2020, the Dicksons Falls & Back Wall Tracks remain closed. Park staff are working to replace bridges that were burned in the fire.
The tracks are closed to protect the incredibly fragile alpine Peatland ecosystem. While heavily impacted from the fire, the Peatlands would be damaged by hikers walking across, further delaying its recovery.
