    Tea Tree Track Closure - Bunyip State Park

    Tea Tree Track, within Bunyip State Park, has been closed since 2018 due to the number of fire killed ash along the track resulting from the 2009 bushfires. The frequency of these large trees falling across Tea Tree Track led Parks Victoria to close the track in late 2018 for public safety. 
     
    Tea Tree Track, which forms part of the seasonal road and track network utilised by four-wheel drivers and trailbike riders, will be re-opened once tree risk work and track upgrades have occurred.
     
    We apologise for any inconvenience.
     
    For further information contact the Parks Victoria Information Centre on 131963.
