Parks Victoria would
like to advise you that the Department of Transport has closed the Bogong High
Plains Road, between Mt Beauty and Falls Creek, to all traffic due to a
landslip near Bogong Village. At this
stage it is not clear how long the road will be closed; current advice suggests
that it may be closed for some time.
The Bogong High
Plains Road between the Omeo Highway and Falls Creek is open.
Falls Creek is open but
they have requested that visitation be minimised as the resort is currently
operating at minimal capacity (unknown operation of the supermarket, no medical
services and a minimum travel time of two (2) hours for any emergency
response).
The Alpine National
Park (Bogong High Plains) is open.
Please be aware that if you access the Park from the east the closest
medical services are located at Omeo. Visit
Parks Victoria’s website parks.vic.gov.au
or call 13 1963 for current conditions.
In an emergency call 000.
During the period 14 October to 16 December 2022 there will be a partial and
intermittent closure of Mount Benambra Summit in the Upper Murray section of the
Alpine National Park while maintenance and upgrade works are conducted on the
communications infrastructure on the summit.
During this period no public vehicle access is permitted to the car park at the summit of Mount Benambra. Public vehicles will still be able to access the Fireman's Hut car park and picnic area, which is located approximately 240m below the summit.
Pedestrian access between the Fireman's Hut car park and the summit (including the viewing platform) will be intermittent, depending on the nature of the maintenance works at the time - when pedestrian access is not allowed a sign will be placed at the Fireman's Hut car park however, the sign will be removed when pedestrian access is allowed.
The intermittent pedestrian access is important as we recognise the very high and unseasonal level of tourism to the area, driven by the spilling of Dartmouth Dam however, if you travel to the Fireman's Hut car park please accept that you may not be able to access the summit if there are high risk works in progress.
Please follow directional signage and travel safely on alpine roads as they may be impacted by recent weather events.
A 2.3km section of Davies Plain Track, near Davies Plain Hut
Camping Area within the Alpine National Park, is currently closed to all
vehicles because of significant water damage and severe erosion, following
recent flood and storm events in the area.
As a result of the
temporary closure, Davies Plain Track is not currently a thoroughfare for vehicles
between Tom Groggin and Charlie Creek Camping Area.
There is
currently no vehicle access to Davies Plain Hut or the adjoining camping area,
pending further assessments and subsequent repairs. Nearest
camping areas accessible to suitable 4WD vehicles on Davies Plain Track are
Charlie Creek Camping Area to the south; and Buckwong Creek Camping Area to the
north (near Tom Groggin).
The 4WD track network in the section of Alpine National Park east of the Snowy River is currently closed to visitors due to very poor track condition.
