Temporary Closures and Altered Track Conditions on the Snowy River National Park 4WD Track Network.

The steep section of the Deddick Trail between Moonkan Track and Mountain Creek which is known as the Mt Joan Staircase is in very poor condition with very deep rutting and erosion trenches.  This section of track has been deemed unsafe to drive and will remain closed to the public until further notice.

Parts of the Deddick Trail are also subject to very thick Wattle and Eucalyptus regrowth and this is particularly predominant over the Mt Gelantipy Plateau.  I this area, regrowth has encroached on the track to the point where it will damage passing vehicles and makes the track unsafe to navigate due to severely restricted sight lines and very limited opportunities to turn vehicles.

For the above reasons, Deddick Trail will be closed from the intersection with Rich Knob Track to the intersection with Bowen Track.

A through route between McKillops Bridge and Yalmy Rd exists along the Snowy Icon 4WD route via Deddick Trail, Bowen Track, Bowen Link Track, Monkeytop Track and Waratah Flat Rd. However, sections of this track network have deteriorated to the point where this route should be considered DOUBLE BLACK difficulty.  Sections of the track network will be very difficult in dry weather and should only be attempted by experienced drivers travelling in groups with high clearance, dual range 4WD vehicles carrying recovery equipment.

It should also be noted that the Snowy Icon 4WD route has not yet been cleared of fallen timber and there is expected to be a large number of fallen treesblocking the track.  Parks Victoria will prioritise clearing access along this network of tracks however this may take several weeks to complete.

Currently there is known to be a very large tree blocking vehicle access along Waratah Flat Rd between the Waratah Flat Camping Area and the Rich Knob Track intersection.
