From
Monday 17th March 2025, Wildtracks are commencing works on the Fyans Creek
(Barri yalug) Track between the end of Tandara Rd and the Terraces Fireline).
Wildtracks will take approximately 2 weeks with this section of the track
temporarily closed or detoured around on the Terraces Fireline in accordance
with the progress of works. Boronia Peak remains accessible from the northern
end of the Fyans Creek (Barri yalug) Track.
The impact of the 2024/2025
summer fires in Grampians (Gariwerd) National Park was widespread. It resulted
in the closure of many popular visitor sites including campgrounds, picnic
areas, a large network of roads and walking tracks (including sections of the
Grampians Peaks Trail).
The fires are now declared
under control and Parks Victoria is progressing with initial risk and damage
assessments across the park. To complement this large-scale work, a staged
re-opening process of visitor sites is being implemented. Notification of reopening’s
will occur through updates on the Parks Victoria website.
Currently there are many
areas open for visitors to enjoy as we move closer to the busy period
around Anzac Day weekend and Easter holidays.
