Little River Junction - Road Repairs

Track maintenance works are scheduled to start 15 September through 30 November 2025, to repair damage to Little River Junction Track, Snowy River National Park. 

For the safety of contractors and visitors, Little River Junction Track and Campground will be shut to the public for the duration of works.
Camping is available at McKillops Bridge.

There will be heavy machinery and trucks working on the McKillops Road between Deddick Valley and Little River Junction Track. 

Please obey all roadwork signage onsite.

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.  This route will be easier on vehicles and drivers if driven in the opposite direction to what is described in the Snowy River Icon 4WD route brochure - starting from Yalmy Rd and finishing at McKillops Bridge

The Snowy River Icon 4WD route brochure can be found on the 4WD Victoria Website at: https://www.4wdvictoria.org.au/iconic4wd/index.php/homepage/snowy-river-drive
